"Exhibiting and attending different tradeshows and events that are related to the industry is a valuable way to explore all remarketing venues and expose more people to the association and its purpose," said Matt Marks, IARA executive director. "This is an ongoing effort for IARA." The IARA also plans to exhibit at the upcoming National Vehicle Leasing Association’s (NVLA) 2003 Annual Conference, Exposition & Auto Show May 21-24 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Resort in San Diego.
