The IAM annual conference that took place recently covered many important items affecting moving businesses. Along with appointing two new board members, IAM focused on solving problems and addressing issues that those in attendance wanted to hear about including legal requirements and industry updates.

The IAM is proud of the work that happens to introduce young people into the moving companies across America. Young professionals are after all, going to be the future for all these companies. What is important is giving these young people the support and encouragement they need to develop and grow, by meeting new people and discovering the exciting career they are embarking upon.

The IAM’s annual meeting in Florida was a great success. This year the U.S Government representatives attended unlike the previous year when budget restrictions prevented any attendance and the only option was to have a Skype link set up. All representatives discussed areas that are associated with their individual departments and interacted with the other members in attendance throughout the annual meeting.
