The Value of the International Technology Rental Association

I am constantly quizzed by prospective and current members about the value of the association. The answer is quite simple; “What do you want the ITRA to be because it is completely up to You”.
The ITRA was put together as a facilitator so that you would have the opportunity to meet face to face or contact at any time a group of professionals who are faced with the same challenges and victories as you are. With the contacts and friendships you develop your organization will be able to offer reliable products and services in other cities, across the country and literally around the world.
Some members want the exchange of ideas, some the comfort of dealing with people you have met and others just want to get away once a year to talk about the future. All of these are valid reasons to join and belong.
You may not want to dive into planning and organizational aspects of the ITRA however; your attendance at the Conference, response to our surveys and willingness to work on a win/win basis with your fellow members will prove that the Value you have received greatly exceeds the price that you paid.
Personally, I serve on the board so that I can leave the association in a stronger better place than the excellent plateau that I found it at and that is why I need all of you to achieve that goal.
The ITRA is here for You to decide the value.
