Membership Recognition Programs

Membership Recognition Programs

Worldwide ERC® is a member-driven organization that is fortunate to have so many dedicated individuals. Several awards programs recognize the work that our members do:

Worldwide ERC® Chairman’s Awards

Worldwide ERC®’s Chairman/President’s Award, first awarded in 1986, honors individuals for their exceptional leadership and most noteworthy contributions to the relocation industry. Worldwide ERC®’s sitting Chairman/President bestows this award on an individual or group in recognition of their work in the mobility profession and business community.

Mobility Magazine Editorial Achievement Awards

Mobility recognizes the best articles published during the past year by presenting the author(s) with an Editorial Achievement Award at our National Relocation Conference. Review our Author Guidelines to find out how you can write for Mobility too and be nominated for this distinction. (For each published Mobility article, authors can also earn two points toward a Service Award.)
