Membership Protections
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
