BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Rental Association (ARA), Moline, Ill., and the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI), Bloomington, Minn., have formed a partnership agreement to cooperate as organizations in the areas of information exchange, education/training opportunities, risk management and participation in annual conferences as appropriate for their respective members.
ARA and the PSAI are well recognized organizations who serve their respective memberships. Leaders of the organizations have identified key areas where cooperative efforts could enhance member value.
"Portable sanitation is an essential part of several industries that ARA serves. Construction sites, industrial plants, parties and special events all have a wide variety of portable sanitation rental needs. The formation of a partnership between ARA and the PSAI will be beneficial for both of our memberships," says Christine Wehrman, executive vice president and CEO for the American Rental Association.
ARA and the PSAI will work to complement one another's programs through the exchange of business information, risk management education and cooperation regarding their respective annual conferences.
