APRO organizes and maintains a network of rent-to-own dealers to help defend and promote the industry in Congress and in state legislatures. For 20 years, APRO has led the rent-to-own industry in creating and developing a strong grassroots campaign. APRO members and industry leaders can join this valuable opportunity by attending APRO's annual Dave Egan Legislative Conference. Local elections also provide a valuable opportunity to participate in grassroots networking. As a small-business owner, the best introduction to politics is during elections. Rent-to-own dealers have been active in elections for years, helping candidates furnish their campaign offices, volunteering their stores for campaign signs, volunteering employees for voter phone banks and attending local political functions.

This year, APRO's Dave Egan Legislative Conference is February 23-25th.  If you haven't already registered, you can do so at the rtohq.org website, where you can also find out more information on the 20 years of legislative activity in which APRO and the Rent to Own dealers have participated.
