IAM has strengthened membership protections on a number of fronts in recent years, weaving a multi-layered strategy that aims to protect the value of IAM membership in the eyes of the Industry, our customers and our colleagues' Associations.

These enhanced protections include:

• More rigorous requirements for becoming an IAM member 
• Instituting and enforcing an IAM Code of Ethics violations process
• Assuring adherence to a professional code of conduct through the IAMTrusted Moving Company designation
• Dynamic IAMX member company directory including IAMX Validation of company’s qualifications and capabilities
• Implementation of the automated IAM Issue Resolution System (IIRS) to efficiently facilitate trade disputes
• Strengthening the Receivable Protections Program (RPP) with the Outstanding Invoice Intervention Process and Alleged Debtor List
• Greater trademark oversight for unauthorized use of IAM and IAM-related logos 
• Developing stronger relationships with colleague associations and governmental entities
