License Plate Recognition and Industry Council Highlights NARS 2014

Apr 10, 2014 • ARA News and EventsComments Off on License Plate Recognition and Industry Council Highlights NARS 2014

The following is a guest post by Paul Kulas. The original version can be found HERE

Howdy!

I recently spoke at the North American Repossessors Summit (NARS) and I couldn’t be more excited about what I see happening in the automobile repossession industry. The next generation of auto repossessors and skip tracers were in full force at NARS 2014. There were young people everywhere, the energy was great, there was real momentum towards co-opetition, Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) was one of the hot topics. (more…)

A Note From Joan Hudson, NARS 2014 Planning Committee Member

Joan MJ

Thank you to all of our vendors at this year’s NARS 2014. It was wonderful to see new and returning vendors experience so much one-on-one interaction with attendees.

A special shout out to Jim Deeson at Recovery First Insurance. All his $100.00 giveaway was a cash donation to the NARS Scholarship Fund. Thank you, Jim!

Miller Industries was our Hole In One sponsor for the golf tournament and they had the room full of attendees excited to win the NASCAR tickets they were giving away. Unfortunately, no one won the hole in one prize, but you’ll have a chance to try again during the NARS 2015 golf tournament.

I am pleased to announce a big percentage of the NARS vendors expressed they would attend and exhibit at the ARA 50th Annual Convention in Clearwater, Florida in September.

Please watch for future emails announcing more upcoming events. In the meantime, check out our Facebook page to find photos of yourself at NARS.

See everyone at NARS 2015!

ARA Partners With Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company

Mar 12, 2014 • ARA News and EventsComments Off on ARA Partners With Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company

We are excited to announce our recent partnership with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. This new partnership will enable all ARA members to go directly to the association’s website and purchase tires at a substantially discounted cost. By utilizing the members-only resource page, members will be able to choose and pay for tires and services, and then go to any local Goodyear store that handles national accounts to have their tires installed. The program will start with tires and related services, such as mounting and balancing, and will then expand to include roadside service, batteries and other automotive products.

“This is one of the most dynamic offerings any association has consummated, and we think this is a game-changing relationship for our members,” said Les McCook, Executive Director of ARA. “We appreciate the efforts of the Goodyear team that helped us overcome the hurdles to make this a reality.”

In addition to the recently announced WEX integration to get ARA members a bottom-line savings on their fuel purchases, the association has successfully addressed two of the largest hard costs in our members’ businesses. To take advantage of this new member benefit, visit ARA’s Member Resource page: members.repo.org.

In addition to the strategic partnership, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company also committed to be the lunch sponsor at NARS 2014, hosted by ARA and TFA (Time Finance Adjusters).

Mike_Dougherty

We are excited to announce that Michael Dougherty, the Managing Partner of Weltman, Weinberg, & Reis Co., LPA, will keynote NARS 2014. He has dealt with the CFPB directly and understands how repossession agents are also directly affected by the new compliance standards.

As a previous speaker at the 2012 summit, Dougherty discussed how the CFPB would soon impact and change the recovery industry. This year, he will expand on the realities of what has actually happened and what this means for recovery agents. His presentation will outline his experiences in dealing with recovery agents who have not been compliant, as well as the consequences associated with it. With Dougherty’s thorough knowledge of compliance, this is sure to be a very engaging and dynamic discussion on the past, present and future impact on the new compliance standards within the repossession industry.  (more…)
