Rent to own Video: Bill Kelly
This Rent to Own Video brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org 
Bill Kelly is one of two new faces elected to the APRO Board of Directors August 13, 2008.
Kelly is the chief operating officer of New Avenues Lease Ownership, a nine-store chain based in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he has worked since 2005. A 19-year-member of the rent-to-own industry, Kelly cut his teeth with Alrenco, where he worked as the company's vice president of operations from 1989 to 1998 and was inspired by APRO co-founder Bud Holladay, long-time APRO member Mike Walts and former APRO President Ted Wilson. In this exclusive APRO Video, Kelly explains how his interest in serving on APRO board grew out of his experience with the Indiana Rental-Purchase Dealers Association where he served as president from 1996 to 1997. | |

The Year of the Tiger According to Chinese astrology, the Year of the Tiger begins in February 2010. Tiger John Cleek is making the most of it as he winds down his two-year term as APRO’s president. He reflects on personal and industry-wide accomplishments and the love of family that sustains him.
In the 30-year history of the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations, 17 rental dealers have served as president. To mark APRO’s special anniversary, 15 of these leaders share their experiences in helping to shape the rent-to-own industry.
The Keep Rate Conundrum Calculating keep rate does not seem to improve the rent-to-own business in any discernible way—and yet this calculation, beyond all the others, has had enormous legal and political implications for rent-to-own almost since its inception.
Vendor Spotlight: What's in a Name? These three departed rent-to-own vendors--Joe Eason, Tom Kitchens and Norm Smith--live on, their names indelibly linked to key industry events and honors.
