Thankful for the IAM Community
|
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Tomorrow is the American holiday of Thanksgiving – my favorite holiday of the year as long as I’m not battling traffic with my kids screaming in the backseat. In all seriousness, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and give thanks for all our blessings. On behalf of IAM, we are thankful for our community of members.
As I reflect on 2022 and the ways in which the moving industry continues to evolve, it is clear that our members are facing a dynamic set of new challenges. A sputtering global economy, rapidly increasing customer demands on technology, and industry consolidation are some of the tricky issues IAM Members must navigate now.
IAM is committed to providing our members with the tools, resources, and connections you need to meet those challenges and be successful. Looking ahead to 2023, IAM will have new member categories that will allow each of our members to align its goals with IAM’s new member categories. These new categories are responding to industry changes and ensuring that IAM’s value proposition to your company remains relevant and valuable. If you have not already chosen your new member category for 2023, do so now by contacting membership@iamovers.org.
IAM is also launching the IAM Trusted Moving Company program. This transformational initiative highlights what it means for a company to be trusted by their partners and their customers. We invite all our members to learn more about this program and why you should seek this credential for your company. Check out the first article below for more information.
Both initiatives are key to achieving IAM’s Strategic Plan. This plan is a journey we are undertaking to champion the moving industry by advancing the professionalism and operational excellence of our members.
Thank you again for your membership and joining us on this journey!
Brian Limperopulos
IAM Vice President

At the recent 2022 IAM Annual Meeting & Expo, IAM members voted to At the recent 2022 IAM Annual Meeting & Expo, IAM members voted to revise the by-laws to change the membership categories officially and to broaden the definition of what it means to be a member in good standing. The latter change affords IAM greater latitude to remove a member company if they are no longer abiding by the minimum conditions of membership.
See the updated by-laws.
