RMCs: What do They Want from Movers? And Other Sessions
IAM is working hard to finalize all the speakers for the many sessions we are organizing for the Annual Meeting. Have you seen the agenda and all the sessions?
One particular panel focuses on RMCs and how to work with them to enhance your business. In the corporate relocation sector, Relocation Management Companies (RMCs) increasingly control decisions about moving and relocation for corporations. If movers want to service this high-volume sector, it is critical they understand RMC expectations and how they source service providers in their supply chains. These RMC leaders perform relocations in every continent in the world.

Spoofed Emails and Your Security
IAM has had reports of Chuck White's email being spoofed in messages asking for donations for non-IAM programs. The email was not hacked, just spoofed. This means the message was sent from a different address but was made to look like it was from Chuck. You can always check to see what address an email is sent from in your email program. Note that if something seems suspicious, feel free to contact our office to be sure. IAM has never and will never ask you for a loan, gift cards, or anything else of the type.
