The ARA is the leading voice in retail for policy changes affecting the sector. As a strong advocate the ARA represents a vast number of retail businesses making the ARA the first port of call for government, media, regulators and other industry participants. By maintaining strong links with government the ARA is able to influence and direct policy that may affect the retail industry. Being a member of the ARA allows you to become part of this process and contribute to the development of retail policy.
