I want to Thank you again for the opportunity to join RBA at the Spec Shaman Summit. The attendee group was sensational. Most importantly the objectives were met eloquently. I can not place a time or event that I have ever received the amount of valuable information with various perspectives. Roy and Craig were sensational. The USGBC Rep and the (2) Architects input was so powerful. This is 5 Star stuff - I'm so glad another door manufacturer was not present - this is leg up information! Well done.
