ARA Advisory Committees

Consisting of specialist representatives from ARA’s retail members, the Advisory Committees draw on subject matter and industry experts to:

• Provide a forum to exchange industry best practice
• Help develop ARA policy positions and support advocacy
• Provide support for legal and regulatory compliance
• Identify issues affecting retailers and formulate industry responses

Each Advisory Committee is chaired by an industry representative and supported by an expert industry advisor, to facilitate engagement with regulators and stakeholders and help retailers adapt to changes affecting the industry. This ensures they can apply solutions and leverage the shared experience and knowledge of participants to support the ARA membership.

Retailers connected with the ARA through its Advisory Committees obtain the full benefits of ARA membership. Participants also enjoy exposure to thought leadership and industry best practice, and their input helps to shape the voice of the ARA into the future.
