with our customers that we haven’t see in person for a long time and make new connections with new suppliers,” says Cliff Hope, Senior Account Manager at PMR INC. “PMR believes strongly that our values and goals as a vendor are closely paired with ARA and its continued mission to educate and lobby government on the behalf of its mem- bership. We chose to sponsor organizations that share a similar vision.”
Echoing those sentiments, “With how this last year or so has panned out, we think it’s important now more than ever to support the industry as well as get some face time in with our great partners,” says RueDee Mikovich, VP, Strategic Partnerships at Peddle, Get Used Parts. “It’s important for us to sponsor ARA as they directly support and advocate for auto recyclers of this industry whom we also value and support through our own business.” Whether for the sessions, networking or finding new business relationships at the expo, ARA’s Executive Director Sandy Blalock just wants you there – for your ultimate benefit. “This year, we really want auto recyclers to see far- ther into the future than the day-to-day, or even the year ahead,” says Sandy Blalock. “Our industry needs to
embrace what is coming and change accordingly. There are really no excuses for not knowing what is ahead, when opportunities like ARA’s annual convention exist to share this information. ARA is there every step of the way to help auto recyclers who want to advance their business. We hope recyclers take advantage of them.”
It Is Not All Work From the Past President’s Reception at the opening night of the Exposition, to the final event – the Facility Tour – with the Annual ARA Awards Dinner in between, there is plenty of time for networking, conversations and meeting new people. There is so much for everyone, so bring your team too! In fact, ARA is hosting a “Tag Your Team Swag” contest, encouraging companies to dress out in their com- pany attire as a team. Chosen winners get great prizes. See the ARA website for more details! Registration and hotel links are available at
