Member News
Congratulations to BMSA Associate Member Rader Solutions on its 20th anniversary! Company founder Chris Rader wrote in a recent Rader newsletter, "When I started in 1998, I had an idea that my personal technology skills and background could be leveraged to help a few companies become more efficient. By removing the technology burden from these companies, they were able to achieve significant growth as they focused on their business, minus the technology. I believed that I had a solution - and that is how Rader Solutions was born on June 1, 1998."
In those 20 years, Chris and his team at Rader Solutions have been invaluable to BMSA and to the BMSA membership. Rader Solutions has helped your association staff with our technology needs, guided us into the realm of online learning with webinars, and presented seminars at numerous BMSA events.
Congratulations Rader Solutions on
20 great years!
