IARA-Who We Are
The IARA is a nonprofit organization composed of remarketing
professionals dedicated to the continuous improvement of the vehicle
remarketing industry. IARA was created in 2001 in response to a
realization by several vehicle remarketing organizations that this
multi-billion dollar industry had no direct representative
organization. The IARA conducts two semi-annual Roundtable industry
meetings, one of which is in conjunction with a national remarketing
conference. For more information, contact the Executive Director,
Matt Marks, at 973-398-2774.
