The ARA's The Rental Show just finished it's yearly run; this time it was held in the Entertainment Capital of the World, glitzy Las Vegas! As usual, Rebel's very own Doug Fleury was in attendance even before the exhibits opened.
The ARA Construction U held a seminar on Sunday, February 10th, which Doug's participation was requested. Doug willingly obliged, speaking on "Rewarding and Keeping Good Employees." He was also invited to participate in John Deere's Advisory Council Meeting, which occurred the following day, the 11th.
On the 12th, he received the President's Image Award won by El Cajon "in recognition of major building improvement that promotes a professional image and enhance the stature of the entire rental industry." This was a major achievement for Rebel as only 10 awards are given annually on this category nationwide.
The final leg of this trip was the Caucus orientation meeting hosted by the Government Affairs Committee. Its purpose was to brief those who will be participating in the ARA 2008 National Legislative Caucus in April (in D.C.) of what to expect which Doug will be attending.
This was certainly a very productive show for Mr. Fleury. He received much praise for the success of his turn in the Construction U Seminar. Surely, the exposure Rebel is getting for contributing to major causes of the ARA will bring us well deserved recognition with our peers and with the other players in the rental industry. This will also, hopefully, earn us more business from contractors looking to work with a reputable and well respected rental company.
