Six global mobility and relocation associations – the Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC), Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA), European Relocation Association (EuRA), FIDI Global Alliance, International Association of Movers (IAM), and Worldwide ERC (WERC) – have announced the formation of a new incorporated entity: The Coalition for Associations in Global Mobility (the Coalition).
The Coalition’s aim is to facilitate further collaboration and engagement around major issues impacting employment-based global mobility and relocation.
Its launch is an evolution of the Coalition of Greener Mobility founded by the six associations in 2022 to collaborate on the advancement of environmental sustainability in talent mobility. It expands the ability to, and provides a platform to, collaboratively address a broader range of industry challenges worldwide.
The Coalition for Associations in Global Mobility is registered as a private company in the UK, with the objective of:
• harnessing the collective power of its member associations to address and seek to
solve the challenges facing the global mobility and relocation industry;
• providing a structured forum for dialogue, cooperation and collaboration on issues
to amplify the individual efforts of its member associations; and
• providing leadership and tools to its member associations in areas of mutual interest, such as research, education, and advocacy.
In addition to the six founding member organisations, the Coalition will give other not-for-profit associations the opportunity to join.
Initial members of The Coalition’s Board of Directors are:
• Stephen Cryne, President and CEO, CERC (who will serve as the Chair of the Board for 2025)
• Nick Estrada, CAE, CMP, CEO, CHPA
• Brian Limperopulos, CAE, President IAM
• Anupam Singhal, President and CEO, WERC
• Jesse Van Sas, Secretary General, FIDI Global Alliance
• Tad Zurlinden, CEO, EuRA
