On behalf of the ARA Board of Directors, members and staff, thank you for agreeing to serve as a member of the 2007-08 Construction & Industrial Services Special Interest Group.

The purpose of the Construction & Industrial SIG is to advise ARA on matters relevant to this segment of membership. The group will address member needs. Topics discussed will include but not be limited to: education, training, safety initiatives, member recruitment/retention, activity in state and local association initiatives, consumer advertising and marketing for this segment of rental business, and other programs/services for the construction membership segment, including education suggestions for the Construction U Program. To discuss an idea for the agenda, please contact your chairman, Hal Roe, at 423/339-0075.

Your willingness to share your time and expertise on behalf of the American Rental Association and the rental industry is greatly appreciated. Thanks to your input and contributions, the Association will continue to fulfill its core purpose: “To promote the success of our members and advance the growth of the rental industry.”

The committee roster is enclosed. Please feel free to contact fellow committee members prior to our initial meeting in the spring.

We look forward to your participation in the upcoming meeting.
