Association of Progressive Rental Organizations

Route 66 Marks the Oklahoma Rental Dealers Meeting

The annual Route 66 meeting and tradeshow for the Oklahoma Rental Dealers Association will meet September 10 and September 11. The 2019 event will be held at the well-known Tulsa Hard Rock and Casino and room blocks are available to book now! Final details on a guest speaker are still being locked down but will be announced soon.

These two days will be action-packed with the association meeting, the vendor exhibits, and the hot show. Moriah Eberhart, membership manager at APRO, will be in attendance to speak on behalf of the association. She comes to the association from the hospitality industry. Eberhart’s experience includes sales and business development with a background in corporate training. Since joining APRO in May, she has had the opportunity to meet members face-to-face at industry events such as the Missouri Rental Dealers Heartland of America Regional Trade Show and Seminar, RTO World held a couple of weeks ago in Louisville, Kentucky, and most recently Nationwide RentDirect PrimeTime in New Orleans last weekend. Eberhart looks forward to meeting as many APRO members as she can and chances are she’ll greet each one with a hug!
