The Concrete Sawing & Drilling Association (CSDA) has selected Dick Rutan as the keynote speaker for the association's 44th Annual CSDA Convention & Tech Fair (March 8–12, 2016, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, Palm Desert, California).
Dick Rutan made history in December 1986 after completing a nine day, three minute and forty-four second non-stop and non-refueled flight around the world, setting records that remain unchallenged today. He was awarded the Presidential Citizen’s Medal of Honor by President Ronald Reagan four days after the epic landing and has since been inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Before his record-setting flight, Rutan flew 325 missions during the Vietnam War, 105 of them as a member of the Super Sabre Forward Air Control, a high-risk operation commonly known as the “MISTY’s.” Before retiring from the Air Force in 1978, Lt. Col. Rutan was awarded the Silver Star, five Distinguished Flying Crosses, 16 Air Medals and a Purple Heart.
During the rest of the convention, attendees will be able to choose from a range of business sessions and networking events specifically chosen to educate and entertainy. In addition, the association’s Tech Fair will give company owners and decision-makers the chance to meet manufacturers and service providers face-to-face in an intimate setting.
The CSDA Annual Convention is attended by owners, managers and operators from concrete cutting, polishing and imaging companies as well as representatives from manufacturers and distributors who support the industry with products and services.
