INDUCTEES Download Nomination Form

The rental industry has grown and prospered from the service of many leaders during the past 50-plus years. The American Rental Association created the Rental Hall of Fame in 2000 to foster an appreciation of the historical development of the rental industry and the leaders who have made the industry what it is today. Each year, nominations are accepted to recognize individuals who have made a substantial impact on the industry at the national and/or international level. The new inductees are recognized during a ceremony at The Rental Show annually.

Eligibility for Nomination

Any individual associated with the equipment rental industry whose significant contribution changed the industry in a positive manner is eligible for consideration. This includes ARA general members, associate members, retired members, non-members, consultants, speakers, publishers, employees of related affiliates or any deceased individual who impacted the equipment rental industry. The members of the National Awards Committee and the ARA Board of Directors during the year of nomination and induction are ineligible.

Selection Criteria

Candidates will be reviewed based on the information presented on the nomination form and the acceptance of nomination form.

Nomination Process

The nominees will be reviewed by the National Awards Committee, led by the ARA chairman of the board. Committee members are appointed by the ARA president and include representatives from past directors, the ARA Foundation board, associate members and an independent manufacturer representative. The ARA executive vice president serves on the committee in an advisory capacity and also appoints an executive level ARA staff member to the committee. Nominations for qualified individuals will be reviewed by the committee.

Selection Process

Recognition

Inductees will be presented with a Salm Crystal Signature Collection Titan statue, a graceful representation of upward movement reflective of the inductee's influence on the industry. Each inductee and one guest will receive complimentary registrations to The Rental Show as well as hotel accommodations for the evenings prior to and after the ceremony.
