The Association for Linen Management (ALM) announced the next generation of Board leadership to continue the association’s efforts of providing essential education and resources for the industry. Long before the current pandemic demanded social distancing, ALM’s Board of Directors began working on providing virtual interactive learning opportunities, as well as immediate, online benchmarking data through the industry’s only source for laundry processing stats, LaundryMarks™.

Prior to the virtual meeting, ALM members voted for the next president-elect, secretary and treasurer to the ALM Board of Directors, as well as amendments to the association’s bylaws.

Erik de Vuyst, LAVATEC's senior field service engineer and a valued company employee since 1993, passed away on May 27 after a long illness. He would have turned 72 the next day.
