Christine Wehrman Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Christine Wehrman, CEO and executive vice president of the American Rental Association (ARA), was presented with the European Rental Association (ERA) Lifetime Achievement Award.
Wehrman, who previously announced her planned retirement from ARA, was honored by the recognition.
“It has truly been a privilege to serve ARA’s general and associate membership in my CEO position, and work with such capable volunteer leaders and staff members throughout the association and the industry. They all share in this award on behalf of ARA,” said Wehrman.
“I also congratulate ERA on its 10th anniversary and thank those who have helped foster such a close friendship between ERA and ARA … as we expanded the Global Rental Alliance over the last decade and worked together to further the understanding of the global equipment rental industry,” said added.
Wehrman joined ARA in late 2000 as the association’s third CEO and executive vice president since its founding in 1955. As she prepares to leave ARA, the association has reached several milestones, including the most member stores in its 60-year history, solidifying the stature of The Rental Show as the world’s largest equipment rental-specific trade show and convention, development of performance metrics, expanded educational and risk management opportunities, and an active government affairs program.
