Happy June 1st
Today marks RIVA’s 41st birthday! RIVA’s founders began this company back in 1981 and it has become the “gold standard” thanks to all our students/staff throughout the years. Over that time, RIVA has had the privilege of sharing decades of experience with other members in the industry. Naomi’s goal was to leave the industry in a better shape than how she found
it, and RIVA is committed to maintaining and furthering that impact.
Our summer is packed with upcoming courses along with staff taking vacations to far [or not so far]
locations! We can’t wait to see you [in person or virtually] in one of our courses!
