President’s Column, Advancing RECSA, New Leadership Development Program class underscores tremendous progress.

The 2022-2023 RECSA Leadership Development Program class held their Kick-off Retreat in Rio Cibolo Ranch… In September, RECSA hosted Bexar County Judge candidates Trish DeBerry and Peter Sakai for a member-only candidate forum. The moderator nailed the format to ensure we got real answers and not political jargon or work-arounds… As stated in previous articles, RECSA has many initiatives “in the works” this year, which will expand RECSA’s advocacy efforts and better serve our members. A few initiatives include a complete website overhaul… With that, we are going through a re-branding process, which will launch in early 2023. We will also relocate to our new office space this December and be fully operational in January…
