As the seasons change and members of the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute report an uptick in business, DLI continues to offer educational programs and networking opportunities. “As business improves, members are busier and have less time to spend online,” said Mary Scalco, DLI’s CEO. “Our goal, as always, is to give members more value than the cost of membership, especially in these challenging times. We’re slowing down but only a little and continuing to offer educational and networking opportunities every week. Now is the time to make sure you and your staff have the skills required to take on new challenges or even brush up on some old ones,” she said.
