“I am very grateful for the recognition and going in with great people as part of the RV/MH Hall of Fame class of 2024. Starting at RVIA, and then RVDA, working in this industry has taken me all over the U.S. and Canada and provided me with opportunities to see firsthand how RV travel and outdoor recreation impact people from all walks of life,” Ingrassia said. “Through the outstanding leadership of volunteer leaders past and present, RVDA has played an important role in growing the market and providing pathways for dealers, manufacturers and suppliers to form profitable partnerships.
