Scott Pevey
Scott Pevey, senior manager, Ditch Witch, Perry, Okla., has been selected to receive the 2023 American Rental Association (ARA) Exemplary Service Award.
The Exemplary Service Award recognizes an individual or group that has made a significant contribution in a defined area of association service (such as government affairs, education, technology or workforce development).
Pevey served the equipment rental industry as a member of the ARA Board of Directors in the role of associate member director from 2021–2023. One of Pevey’s top achievements in this capacity was the direction and feedback he provided to the association as it restructured its communications strategy to a multimedia format.
From 2018–2020, Pevey served on the ARA Foundation Board of Trustees. During his term, he brought the idea of the Community Impact Program to the Foundation board and was instrumental in developing the partnership between the ARA Foundation and The Toro Company Foundation to implement the program. The Community Impact Program supports local non-profits that help improve communities where members work and live. Pevey has volunteered at six of the 11 Community Impact Projects that have been hosted to date and has assisted to procure equipment and volunteers from Ditch Witch dealers for all projects.
Pevey also has helped guide the direction of The ARA Show™ as a member of its Exhibitor Advisory Council, serving in 2012, from 2016–2018, and in 2021–2022 while a member of the ARA Board of Directors.
