The equipment and event rental community is full of stories about individuals and companies that have made a significant impact and helped shape the industry. To help recognize those achievements, the American Rental Association (ARA) is asking members to submit a nomination for the Rental Hall of Fame and Industry Contributor Awards. 

The Rental Hall of Fame is the industry’s most prestigious award. It is designed to honor those individuals who have changed the trajectory of the equipment and event rental industry with their vision and leadership. 

The Industry Contributor Awards include the Industry Ambassador Award, Exemplary Service Award and the Industry Impact Award. These awards are designed to recognize individuals who have demonstrated long-term leadership and service to the association, made a significant contribution in a defined area of association service and/or made a significant impact on the association or industry at the national, state or local levels. 

All award recipients will be honored during the ARA Industry Awards Lunch on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024, at The ARA Show™ in New Orleans. Click here for nomination information.
