It is an important part of the IAM to link with the different organizations across America, to ensure that the moving business is at the forefront of a fantastic industry. They support organizations, like CMSA, that protect the industry from fraudulent business and that help standardize the moving industry.

t is important to realize the hard work of the NCMA, National Council of Moving Association. They oversee the 27 organizations that help to improve the moving business as a whole. The NCMA was first established in 1969 as a way to improve the connection between the different organizations and to bring together the industries to ensure a smooth understanding of the requirements of the different aspects of the moving business across America.

The IAM is looking to bring together all the different organizations that jointly affect the moving business. Bringing together different organizations creates a stronger industry. One aim of the IAM is to coordinate all of their events and meetings to coincide with other moving conventions with the sole purpose to save time and money for moving businesses. Another goal is to create global standards for the industry.

The IAM and the AMSA are both looking to ensure that the J-1 Visa program that allows students from all over the world, the opportunity to work for a set period, normally in the busy summer months. The industry needs the influx of casual workers to take them through to the busier months.

A move to prevent the details of customers, who have moved into or out of the USA, from being openly sold is a matter of urgency. At present it is possible to purchase this information in the form of a CD-ROM. An individual can ask for confidentiality in their move, but until recently it has not been clear as to the need for this. It is often only when the customer is pestered by businesses that have purchased a copy of the list, they are aware of the problems they then face.
