ENHANCING MEMBER SERVICES • A Greater Understanding of how IAM serves it members: • IAM Shipper Guides • Receivable Protection Program (RPP) • Hall of Honor • YP-35 • Development of the Numeric Codification of Contents for Electronic Inventories and Manifests of Household Goods and Personal Shipments. • A Better Comprehension on how to take advantage of IAM Programs • A view to the future on what initiatives IAM is working on for the Members’ benefit.
IAM Shipper Guides • Over the past year, IAM has updated over 60 Shipper Guides. • After the Annual Meeting, IAM will be soliciting customs updates from countries that we do not have updates for. • What does the future hold? • Create a Shipper Guide for each of the different countries represented in our membership • Maintain Shipper Guides once created • Develop applications for mobile devices to access the Shipper Guides remotely • Generate consumer referrals from the Shipper Guide website to our member’s websites • Establish a more user-friendly webpage for the Shipper Guides.
The Receivable Protection Program (RPP) • Statistics: • 110 Members currently enrolled • IAM received seven different claims for the 2009-2010 fiscal year • In total, IAM paid out $21,014.17 to satisfy those claims. • Averaged out, IAM is paying out just over $3,000 per claim this year. • The fee to sign up right now is $650. • In the future, IAM will be instituting a new feature for the RPP. • The new feature will be an Invoice Dispute Resolution Program. • During the past year, IAM has ramped up oversight and intervention. • By tracking this information, it has heightened our ability to predict those companies who may initiate RPP Claims. • IAM will publish a list of the alleged debtors that we have on file only to RPP Members.
The IAM “Hall of Honor” • 32 people have been inducted into the Hall of Honor since its initiation three years ago. • Improvements made to the Hall of Honor in the past year: • Greater Geographic Viewpoint with the inclusion of an Asia-based Selection Committee Member. • New voting system that increases impartiality during voting. • A limit on the number of inductees per year. • Core Members represent the vast majority of our membership. Please nominate those people who you feel are worthy of inclusion in the Hall of Honor. • Link to Hall of Honor Nomination form: http://iamovers.org/alerts/2010/0910_HoH_Nomination_Form_2011.pdf
Young Professionals (YP-35) • As of September 15th, the YP-35 has 178 members. • At this point last year, there were only 103 members. • These statistics represent a renewed enthusiasm among young professionals throughout our industry. • What is responsible for the greater enthusiasm: • A greater commitment from IAM to provide support to the YP-35. • Outreach efforts like the YP-35 sponsorship of the Young Movers Conference. • Enhanced communication to members • IAM’s membership reclassification. • A new Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are set to take over after the meeting.
YP-35 • What does the future hold? • Harness the YP-35 to take the lead on IAM’s new partnership with Carbonfund.org. • Cultivate stronger links between other industry youth-oriented groups through a Young Movers Leadership Summit • Development of a YP-35 Mentorship Program • Regionally- Based Study Tours • Each of these programs would promote the professional development of YP-35 members, increase their contacts worldwide, and benefit the IAM membership as well. • Most importantly, these initiatives would help develop the leadership skills of young members in our Association.
Development of Electronic Numeric Code Codification Standard • The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved the standard in late July. • The standards have been developed with assistance from our partners at AMSA, CAM, FEDEMAC, FIDI, PAIMA, and other moving –related associations throughout the world. • IAM will be submitting the standard to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). • International Recognition of the Standard would yield certain benefits: • Greater Business Efficiency • Better Ability to Comply with Future Customs Regulations
