Sixty-two premiere Contingency Connection tracks hosting 1200+ events will be partners in promoting the Richmond Gear BONUS PROGRAM. Jackie Ressa, President of JRB Marketing stated, “Richmond Gear has been a major sponsor and a huge supporter of the Contingency Connection for more than a decade now---they even include our logo on their packaging!
