Arizona Relocation Alliance

What Arizona Relocation Alliance does

Arizona Relocation Alliance (ARA) is a non-profit professional trade association serving relocation and mobility industry professionals in the state of Arizona. Founded in 2002 and operating under the DBA "ARA," the organization is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with a lean staff of approximately 7 employees and a web presence at aratoday.org. Its functional mission is to connect, educate, and advocate for individuals and companies involved in the Arizona relocation industry through member services and convening events.

ARA's core offering is its membership program for individual professionals, priced at $225-$325 per member, supplemented by an annual corporate sponsorship program comprising approximately 25 sponsors per year. The organization's flagship product is the ARA Summer Conference, scheduled for July 30, 2026, at the Arizona Biltmore, which functions as the primary revenue-driving event and member engagement touchpoint. ARA does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its infrastructure consists of standard association membership management, event ticketing, and communications tools supporting the membership and conference lifecycle.

The business model relies on three revenue streams: individual membership dues, corporate sponsorship commitments, and event-related revenue (tickets and conference participation). Its geographic scope is intentionally limited to Arizona, and its customer segments are individual relocation professionals and the corporate entities (employers, movers, real estate firms, and service providers) that participate as members or sponsors within the Arizona relocation ecosystem.
