TARA President Dan Matthews

This Rent to Own Audio Podcast brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org

Dan Matthews is the president of the Texas Association of Rental Agencies (TARA) and owner of Dallas-based Rent Plus.

Matthews recently addressed attendees at the Louisiana Rental Dealers Association (LRDA) meeting in Marksville April 22-23. He urged members of the newly reorganized LRDA to stay active and involved and to consider the benefits of hiring a lobbyist to keep tabs on state legislative issues.

Lobbyists have played an invaluable role in strengthening TARA's hand at the state level.

Here, Matthews encourages LRDA members to "stay active and stay alert".
