AN IMPORTANT AND HEARTFELT MESSAGE FROM HARVEY BRODSKY

Dear RTA Members and Industry Associates,

As many of you already know, I was involved in a serious accident followed by a failed back surgery that left me disabled from walking well and in intractable pain.   At the time I was certain that I would fully recover with treatment and that I would be able to resume my full time activities (including travel) as the Managing Director of the Retread Tire Association (RTA).

Unfortunately, that has not been the case.  After much soul searching, I realized that after 40 years of knowledge and experience serving as the voice and Representative of our Retread Tire Industry, the time has come for me to turn over to my very able assistant Jeffrey Parks the full time day-to-day role of RTA Managing Director.  

I have known Jeffrey Parks for more than 30 years.  For the last 5 years, he has become RTA's right hand man.  With training, experience, knowledge, full familiarity with and passion for the Retreading Industry,  I can say with full assurance that Jeffrey is fully ready to take over the responsibility of leading.  Many of you already know him from your very positive interactions with Jeffrey during RTA related calls, responsive emails and office work, his skillfully written well informed articles, and/or have had the pleasure of meeting him in person during one or more of his many industry related business trips representing RTA.  

On the bright side I have no plans to exit our Industry or to leave RTA.  Both Jeffrey and I are excited about working together through RTA on your behalf for many years to come.

 While I may not be available to you on a day to day basis, Jeffrey and I will be in touch daily.   You can depend on our joint dedication to making your continued membership and annual investment in RTA more than worthwhile!

Again, I want you to know that Jeffrey and I promise that you can depend on us for many years to come! We both will continue to write and send the RTA NEWS YOU CAN USE memos from our computers.  Please continue to send your e-mails regarding memos you wish us to post to info@retreadtire.org.

In closing I want all of you to know I deeply appreciate your support and will welcome your e-mails and telephone calls for years to come.  I can personally be reached by e-mail to harvey@retreadtire.org and by telephone to (831) 646-5269.

With all best wishes,

Harvey
