Member Benefits
Members of the Arizona Retailers Association receive access to exclusive discounts and special services that help to promote efficient business operations. Some programs are available to individual employees and can be offered as an employee benefit. The Association has an ongoing search for benefit programs to meet the needs of the membership
ARA Advocacy
The most significant membership benefit provided by ARA is advocacy. The Arizona Retailers Association connects Arizona retailers with lawmakers and regulators in state government bodies. ARA actively lobbies to advance legislation that creates favorable outcomes for its membership and to mitigate issues that might negatively impact retailers.
