    You'll gain knowledge that will help you take your business to the next level.

    You'll meet concierge from all over the world, and you'll learn how they operate their business in their country! The connections you make will prove invaluable to you and your business.

    You can network over the internet on message boards or Facebook, but nothing beats meeting someone in person and being able to talk to them about your business and theirs.

    Hello everyone,

    I hope you are all having a good summer (and for our members and friends in the southern hemisphere - a good winter).  I wanted to write about your business and why it is so important to invest in it with not only your time and effort, but also with your ongoing education and networking.  As members of ICLMA, it is important that you all get involved and utilize your membership. It not only helps your business, it also allows us to continue to work with partners who want to be involved with ICLMA.  However, we need an active membership! We need the members to be involved in their association!

    This brings me to the conference in Tampa in late September.  We have worked very hard to bring you a few wonderful days of amazingly talented speakers. We hope that you will come to Tampa and learn from the many talented speakers we have lined up! No where else can you network with fellow concierge  from around the world.  Enjoy an evening of dinner and entertainment! 

    We also are pleased to announce that American Airlines is now a member  of the association. They're going to be at the conference and will speak about the future of the airline industry. They are also giving away two free Round Trip Tickets on the last day of conference!  In addition, Triangle Concierge has also come on board to be a conference sponsor for the 9th straight year.

    You cannot miss this years conference, it is a great time to invest in your business and prepare you for the future. It's important to invest in your business. As the economy turns around, you have to be prepared. 

    Come join other members in Tampa, make it an investment in your business, or a mini vacation in beautiful Tampa Bay, Florida.  You will not regret it as you will make lasting business relationships.

    Regards,

    Ron Giovanni, ICLMA Conference Director

    Good Morning America is looking to interview a concierge with a very specific background. The information and contact information is below.

    Tory Johnson is the workplace contributor on ABC’s Good Morning America and she’s doing a piece on working from home. Specifically she’s looking for a woman who lost her job or was forced back to work because of a spouse’s job loss and has recently started a concierge business in the last six months. This person MUST have landed at least two or three clients undefined, perhaps clients that hired a virtual concierge because of their own staff cutbacks. You must be willing to reveal how much money you make and your tips for how you landed clients. The information must be specific. It can’t be “I used the internet.” If this sounds like you, please send an email to media@womenforhire.com with the details of your story. Include your name, contact numbers, email, location, the circumstances that led you to start the business, when you began, and how it’s going. Include a link to your site too. Share specifics on the kind of clients you have and how you got them. NONE of this will be used unless you hear from Tory directly if you’re a good fit. DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 21 at NOON.

    Good luck everyone!!!

    We cordially invite you all to please participate in ICLMA's annual concierge industry survey.

    Your participation is vital!


    We are seeking data and feedback from everyone in the industry in order to better publicize our profession.  In fact, the data you provide is the only significant information about our profession to be published anywhere!


    The ICLMA Annual Survey gathers information about formation, operation, fee setting, services, clientele and other aspects of our businesses. Knowledge of what, why, how, when and for whom we do this work educates those of us who serve in the field and those who use or may use our services. Hard statistics enhance our image as professionals, encouraging partnerships, strong vendor relationships and greater use of our services.


    Please answer as many questions as you can. It's so important to get as much information as possible so that we can get the best results.


    Since this survey is open to both ICLMA Members and non-members, we would really appreciate it if you could please forward this on to other colleagues who may wish to take the survey.

    If you wish to forward the link to other companies, here's a shorter one to use: http://conta.cc/9CXtyK

    Thank you!

    Katharine Giovanni
    ICLMA Chairman of the Board
