Dynamic to sponsor National Convention

August 10th, 2009

Dynamic Equipment and ManufacturingDynamic Equipment and Manufacturing has graciously donated a tow bed (valued at $9000) to be raffled off at the ARA National Convention in September.  Every member who attends the convention in Nashville will receive one complimentary ticket for a chance to win the tow bed.  All attendees will be able to purchase additional raffle tickets for $100 each.  Proceeds from raffle ticket sales will benefit the Kenneth Long Memorial Fund.

We are very close to this fund being self-sustaining and we greatly appreciate Dynamic for providing this opportunity.

ARA/DRN Subsidy Program

August 5th, 2009

Welcome, again, to ARA’s new and improved web site.  We hope you’re enjoying the cleaner and easier navigation. The best part, our clients no longer have to go through multiple steps in order to send our members accounts through the site. I want to thank our marketing and PR agency, Wellington Group, for their hard work in making this new site a reality.

With that said, last week we announced that ARA and DRN have reached an agreement that I believe will be incredibly beneficial for our members. ARA will now provide DRN’s camera technology to our members at a special, reduced rate. We’ve worked with DRN to develop three different pricing/leasing options to ensure every member has an opportunity to benefit from this technology, regardless of budget.

President’s Welcome

May 25th, 2009

Welcome!

I am excited and pleased to welcome you all to the “new look” of the American Recovery Association website. Our staff has worked diligently to make the ARA website the best in the industry. The new site has been designed to be more user friendly for ARA members and clients alike. We are confident everyone will find it easier to navigate. We’ve also added more informative and educational content - like a new blog, which will keep you up to date with ARA news, industry related subjects and more!

We are so excited about this new venture and hope you enjoy it. If you have any input or suggestions for the site, please do not hesitate to contact the home office at 972-755-4755 or contact a member of the board directly.
