Sater has been ARA Region Four director since 2008 and has worked diligently to reactivate all the state associations within his region, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. As part of his efforts, he recruited members to get involved and form boards of directors for Arkansas and Oklahoma, then continued to work closely with the new presidents to ensure meeting success.

In addition, he was a host for the ARA Foundation’s international rental business leadership program and engaged others within Region Four to also host Michael Hayek of Kennards Hire P/L, Queensland, Australia, during September and October 2009.
