Everyone, we have a big opportunity for ARA Executive Members! 📢

We're building something brand new: a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Committee, and this is your chance to help shape it from the ground up.

Right now, ARA doesn't have a comprehensive Policy and Procedure Manual. That's about to change, and we want YOU in the room when it happens.

We're looking for 3 Executive Members to team up with ARA's President and Vice President and build something that will guide this Association for years to come.

Here's what it takes:

✅ Current ARA Executive Member
✅ Ready to dive in and actively shape the SOPs
✅ A collaborative mindset and strong team energy
✅ Time and commitment to help build something truly professional

This isn't just a committee seat. It's a chance to leave your fingerprint on how ARA operates, grows, and succeeds moving forward.

Ready to make an impact? Send your application to [email protected] and let's talk!

Lenders: when you work with an ARA member, you're working with someone who has earned it. 😉

Every ARA member goes through an extensive background investigation, and our CCRS-certified professionals must pass rigorous training and testing on compliance, consumer protection laws, and field best practices, scoring 80% or above on every exam.

That's the ARA difference.

Quick test. What was that vendor's insurance coverage on March 12, 2024? 🤔

No? Nothing? Same.

Claims show up 18 to 24 months after the recovery. So the question always arrives long after everybody involved has moved on to roughly four hundred other assignments.

And the attorney does not want to know if the vendor is compliant today. Today is easy. Today you can look it up.

They want March 12, 2024. Coverage in force that day. License active that day. Personnel screened before that day.

Your memory is not going to save you here. Your filing system might. 🤌
