NARA’s meetings provide members several opportunities each year to build long lasting relationships with renderers, service providers, customers, and industry affiliates. We host annual business meetings in the spring and fall, as well as an annual congressional fly in and yearly regional meetings to focus on the specific issues facing those areas including state-level legislation, employment trends, and other information affecting the business practices of renderers. Our meetings give renderers and their business partners an opportunity to meet with other industry leaders, engage in problem solving, stay informed on upcoming regulatory and legislative matters affecting the industry and the access to get involved, and help guide the direction of the association.
