The mission of APRO’s government relations function is to advance, preserve, and protect the interests of the rent-to-own industry by communicating the perspectives and views of APRO members to government officials at the federal, state and local levels. This legislative plan outlines the association’s strategy to effectively reach this goal through four primary areas of focus: Advocacy, Legislative Monitoring, State Association Management, and the APRO PAC. Each of these focus areas also include subsets of specific strategies on communications, activities, and key relationships.
