James Auerbach, ARA VP, Event Segment

When James Auerbach, the ARA’s Event Segment VP, was a kid, he thought he’d be a physical therapist, journalist, or a chef. 

Professionally, he’s officially done none of those things, yet he’s found a way to put all of those skills to use – writing marketing materials and procedures, working with chefs as a restauranteur, and…well, hopefully his interest in physical therapy doesn’t have to come in handy. 

He has always been good at working with people and helping them realize the value of things, which makes him an excellent choice as the VP of ARA’s event segment. 

In this interview, James provided some leadership expertise, told us about an industry secret, and let us know what meal he’s eating as his last meal (just in case).

Stop Stocking So Many Parts!

We’ve all done it.   When I worked in the event industry, there was one year where people started asking about gold flatware. We jumped to stay ahead of the trend, purchasing over 1,000 pieces of gold place settings to match our existing gold-band plates. The fad never fully materialized,
