Rental Management Magazine announced their 2023 “12 to watch under 40” list this month, featuring five Point of Rental users.
The list features many of the best and brightest young professionals under the age of 40 who have become involved in managing and running rental businesses as well as participating in other industry activities at the local, state and national levels. This year’s selections include a cross-section of professionals throughout the world that are helping to shape the future of the equipment and event rental industry.
We’d recommend reading this month’s magazine, but we also want to call attention to the folks on the list that we work with:

Recently, she became the co-owner of the organization, stepping in to help save a 50-plus-year-old business from closing permanently, and now helps lead the ARA of New Hampshire.
