Andrew Brubaker from Pro X Home Center in
Bonners Ferry is attending the Fall 2016 class
of the North American Retail Hardware
Association’s (NRHA) Retail Management
Certification Program, thanks to a $6,250
scholarship sponsored by Do it Best Corp. that
will cover half of the course tuition.
The industry-focused retail management and
leadership development program is a
college-level course designed to train future
retail leaders within the home improvement
industry advanced retail management and
leadership concepts and skills that will help
them advance in their careers.
Last month Brubaker attended class sessions at
NRHA’s Indianapolis-based headquarters along
with 17 other independent retailers from
throughout the United States and Canada for the
first of three separate sessions during the
six-month program.
Students will also receive individual business
coaching and initiate a major business
improvement project for the semester to help
provide a return on investment in attending the
course.
“Attending this course means a lot to me and to
my dad, and it will show him that I’m very
interested in working with him in the future. It
will also make him proud to see me go off and
further my education,” Brubaker said. “I also
think this class will help me get out of my
comfort zone, and I am grateful that our co-op
awarded me a scholarship to attend.”
“We’re delighted that Do it Best Corp. provided
this scholarship for Andrew to attend the Fall
2016 RMCP class,” said Scott Wright, Executive
Director of NRHA’s Retail Leadership Institute,
which launched the program in 2013. “He is very
deserving and will make the most of this
opportunity to further his career so he can
continue to help Jeff grow the business. This is
just one of the many ways Do it Best Corp.
continues to support the growth of their
members, as well as the industry.”
