The sixth Best Cleaners Leadership Forum in America closed on February 10th and, according to the organizers, was the most forward-looking forum to date, bringing together the leading dry cleaning companies and cementing their camaraderie before being sent strong and confident into the future .
The forum, the last of six modules held through Zoom, focused on the prospects for the next generation of cleaners and their role in steering the industry towards bigger and brighter goals. The young creators took the stage trying to unpack answers to hot button questions about how to build on previous successes in new, innovative ways, and how new technologies can play a role in future strategic planning and deployment. The unconventional strategic thinking of these youthful leaders, tempered with proper reverence for permanent stakeholders and procedures, was the perfect grade for the Leadership Forum series.
Nicole Kirby from SPOT Business Systems was on the last panel along with Monika Manter, Vice President of Balfurd Inc; Mark Hatch; General Manager of French Cleaners Inc; Joel Lyons, president of Lyons Cleaners and Evans Garment Restoration; and Nathaniel Dubasik, project manager at Metalprogetti.
Reported on positive experiences as a panelist and participant in various leadership forums, Kirby said, “I went to a few forums before this forum and saw firsthand how the dry cleaning industry has come together during the pandemic. Personal stories have always impressed me the most. It was all very moving. It was special for me to be able to take part in the final panel and offer a little bit of myself in return for everything I got from previous forums. "said Kirby.
Manter commented, “In these difficult times, it was wonderful to see our industry come together to share ideas and solutions. We're so grateful that America & # 39; s Best Cleaners hosted these forums to facilitate the sharing of positive and innovative operators. The forums gave our management team valuable insights into adapting to the current business climate. "
Catherine McCann, Partner and Director of Operations at America & # 39; s Best Cleaners, said, “I'm sad to say that our six month leadership forums have come to an end. However, it was fabulous to rate things so positively. When I heard the panelists use such important words as trust, excellence, better life, strategy, and success, and when they listened carefully and had that positive attitude, I felt even more confident about our industry. "
Chris White, Partner and General Manager of America's Best Cleaners, shared how impressed he was with the camaraderie and excitement for the future that the last panel showed. “This panel went beyond what we had envisioned in our planning. With this caliber of leadership, creativity and imagination deployed to solve the challenges ahead, our industry is in good hands. We couldn't ask for a better goodbye to wrap up this series. "
