SCOLARSHIP!!!

As your State Chapter President, I hear it all the time from members across our state: “We’d love to send someone to The ARA Show, but it’s just not in the budget.” That’s exactly why I wanted to follow up and personally remind you about this new opportunity.

The ARA Show Scholarship sponsored by ARA of California is a new pilot program designed specifically for small rental businesses in California. It gives emerging rental leaders the chance to attend The ARA Show, with $1,500 to help offset the cost.

This scholarship includes:
Full The ARA Show registration
Airfare assistance
Access to education, networking, and leadership‑building opportunities
Only 10 scholarship applications will be considered, so if you’re interested, now is the time to act.

If you’ve got a rising leader on your team, I strongly encourage you to apply today.

Apply Here
Best regards,
Meghann Lovlien
State Chapter President

This form should be completed by the Owner/Manager of the rental store where the scholarship applicant is currently employed.

Proud to represent American Rental Association at Lobby Day today.

These conversations are about more than policy they’re about the people behind our industry. Family businesses, hardworking employees, and the communities that rely on us every day. As it was important to share the real challenges and opportunities facing the equipment and event rental industry in California.

We had meaningful discussions around employment issues, business regulations, and the importance of supporting industries that help build and maintain our communities.

Grateful for the opportunity to advocate alongside so many dedicated members of the rental industry and proud to help ensure our voices are heard.

The rental industry is built on service, hard work, innovation, and community and today was a reminder of how important it is to stay engaged in shaping its future.
