National Association Committee
The National Association Committee is the platform for the rental associations to meet and exchange, and where they can brainstorm with their European peers about how to improve the rental business.
It focuses on the promotion of rental and the communication, management and coordination of trade events, safety issues, standardisation, theft, attracting talent to the industry and all other issues relevant to the national associations. It also keeps the list of EU issues and EU organisations of relevance to the rental industry, initially identified by the EU Affairs Committee, up-to-date.
The National Associations Committee is also involved in sustainability so that they can motivate their members to make it more central to their business approach.
The National Association Committee was created in 2013 as a continuation of the former Norms and Safety Committee and later EU Affairs Committee, and of the Association Day. It is composed of representatives from national rental associations that are members of ERA, as well as IPAF.
