Written By Jacob Shulman

As Peer Executive Groups (PEG) marks its 25th Anniversary, they are recognizing the individuals and groups who did more than participate. Founder Dan Crowley states, “These individuals shaped the culture, sharpened the standards, and strengthened the foundation of Peer Groups over the past 25 years.” PEG plans to regularly recognize those with a commitment to raising the bar across the rental industry inside the Peer Group Network.

“We’d also like to give our appreciation to our founding members; Andrew Budick, Action Rental, Allentown, PA; Lee Lightner, of the former ABC Equipment Rental, Baltimore, MD; Dean Eklund, Lew Rents, Olympia, WA, and Jeff Wearing, Ready Rent-All, Covington, GA; as well as the American Rental Association, who has worked locked step with us over the years.”
