“Our goal, as always, is to give members more value than the cost of membership, even in these challenging times,” said Mary Scalco, DLI’s CEO. “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.
“This month’s schedule is packed with more weekly training webinars covering topics that are not only important for your staff but for yourself and your management team,” Scalco said. “We also host Peer-to-Peer Zoom calls. Members hear how other cleaning business professionals are adapting to the current business climate, share ideas, get answers to questions and even just vent. DLI’s doors are always open and all drycleaning professionals are invited to join DLI and participate in these events.”
