NBA legend Chris Mullin to keynote DPA conference May 2
Distributor Partners of America (DPA), a buying group serving the janitorial, safety, industrial supply industries, announced NBA All-Star, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Chris Mullin, will keynote its upcoming buying and networking conference May 1-3 in Indianapolis.
"Chris is a basketball icon, and in conjunction with our conference theme, 'One Team, One Dream,' Mullin was also a part of the original gold medal-winning 1992 'Dream Team,' said DPA CEO Zac Haines. "We look forward to his inspirational remarks and utilizing his on-the-court strategies to help make our businesses more competitive and more profitable off the court.”
Following Mullin's remarks, DPA members will be treated to a kick-off party at the NCAA Hall of Champions with live music and entertainment.
Chris Mullin’s legacy was forged during one of the most star-studded eras in the history of the sport. Mullin first jumped onto the national radar in college at St. John's where he was a three-time Big East Player of the Year and led the program to the 1985 Final Four. The Golden State Warriors subsequently selected Mullin with the seventh overall pick in that year's NBA Draft. Mullin later played a key role for championship-contending teams with the Indiana Pacers before spending a final season with the Warriors in 2000-01.
In addition to his illustrious pro career, Mullin is well remembered for being part of the gold medal-winning Team USA squads at the Olympics in 1984 and in 1992. After retiring from the basketball court, he served as an executive with Golden State and the head coach at his alma mater, St. John's. Mullin has worked as an analyst for ESPN and is currently a member of the Warriors broadcast team on NBC Sports Bay Area. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
In addition to Chris Mullin, on Friday morning, DPA conference attendees will hear from presenters about the group’s new training initiatives, including an overview of the recently launched DPA University and an introduction to DPA’s new partnership with JaniTrain.
