Hello, American Rental Association (ARA) Region Seven members. We have had a very busy summer. I hope you can say the same. I love a busy rental operation — all the interaction between our staff and customers. That is so satisfying. One interaction I would love to stop is that of thieves trying to disrupt our businesses. Burglary is huge. So is cybertheft. Our operation has dealt with both.

Hello, American Rental Association (ARA) Region Nine members. Between the massive rains, mudslides and then extreme heat, it has been a challenging time. Cyberattacks are also a concern. Discover ways to protect yourself, find educational resources to take advantage of, learn who in our region deserves extra congratulations and see how you can benefit from connecting with your rental peers.

Hello, everyone. I’m Jim Boddez of Five Bo and Hy Cor Intl, St. Albert, Alberta. I’m pleased to be part of the ARA of Canada Task Force and to have this opportunity to share with you about how we can play a role in recognizing those who have made an impact in our industry.

One thing I love about being involved in the American Rental Association is the opportunity to meet many industry giants — people who have improved our industry by sharing their knowledge with others, or have developed tools or resources that elevate the way we do business. 

Hello, American Rental Association (ARA) Region Five members. My name is Kirk Edwards, owner of Kit-Mo Rental & Supply Co. in Paducah, Ky. I also serve as ARA of Kentucky president. Business at my operation has been good. It is up from last year, which was our best in 10 years. 

Hello, American Rental Association (ARA) Region Four members. I am Pat Reynolds, owner of Journey Productions in Lawton, Okla., and I also serve as ARA of Oklahoma president. 

My name is Michelle Nelson, president of MK Equipment Corp. in Honolulu. We are a solution-seeking, forward-thinking group that perseveres through inclement weather and global pandemics. Sometimes, though, I find myself feeling isolated and wonder what others are doing through all of this. 

I’ve been involved in the rental business for long enough to have had the privilege of meeting many industry giants — people who have improved our industry by sharing their knowledge with others, or have developed tools or resources that elevate the way we do business. Do you know someone like this? You can help ARA give that individual the recognition they deserve.
