Are You Trusted?

­
­
­

That’s the question we are asking IAM Members as we come into 2023.

Why is that?

 

Well, our business relies on our ability to collaborate with service partners operating to professionally expected standards. This system, built on experience and trust, works remarkably well. Most transactions flow seamlessly without formal written contracts but the few exceptions create tremendous friction, inefficiency, and financial risk for the industry.

 

To address this risk to your company and our network, IAM is launching the IAM Trusted Moving Company (ITMC) designation.

 

This new initiative will improve relationships between members. It will advance the professionalism and operational excellence of our members, and will transform the International Association of Movers.

 

31 of your fellow members have already completed the ITMC Registration and 100 more are going through the process. Please join us to learn more about the IAM Trusted Moving Company designation on one of our two Jan. 17 webcasts:

 

Session 1
IAM Trusted Moving Company Webcast presented by the US DAB Mover Group
Jan. 17, 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time

 

Session 2
IAM Trusted Moving Company Webcast: Asia / Pacific Edition
Jan. 18, 9:00 a.m. Singapore Time / Jan 17, 2023, 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time

 

Find the one that works best for your time zone. See you on Jan. 17 or 18!
