AFTER THE CONVENTION: NFA MEETING
The NFA COOP will hold their annual business meeting on Saturday, September 21, 2013, immediately following the breakfast and awards finale at the convention. We will discuss the future of our industry and the direction we are headed. All ARA members are invited to attend.
This is also the last possible date to join the NFA COOP, so if you are interested in becoming an NFA member, you must bring a check with you to the meeting to be eligible for the matching funds.

Many vendors have told us that a great added value of being an exhibitor at the annual ARA Convention is having the opportunity to introduce themselves to our members at the beginning of general session each day.

Glass doors provide easy access to truck display.
