Contact Information

In addition to the ARA board of directors, each ARA Division has a Chairman and its own Executive Committee. These folks are independent business people from the segment of the industry their ARA Division represents. They volunteer their time to work on Division projects. Each Division is also assigned a consultant to work with the Division Chair, Executive Committee and members to carry out Division initiatives. Our Division consultants are seasoned industry professionals themselves. They are paid staff, working out of the ARA office, and they report to the President & CEO. Members are encouraged to communicate with their Division consultants when they need information or advice, or just to keep in touch with what's happening in their segment of the industry.
