The American Rental Association (ARA) is a nonprofit trade association representing the equipment rental and event rental segments in North America.[1]
It was first formed in 1955 by a group of twenty-one rental store operators. At the time, rental stores were a quickly growing industry. The ARA represents over 11,000 member locations in North America.[2]
Structure
ARA, like most trade associations, uses working committees and short term task forces.
