The most recent publication of Direction The Magazine of the American Moving & Storage Association, published an article about the rise of women in the relocation industry. The article, which features five influential women whose careers vary from three to 43 years in the industry, dives into their perspective of being a woman in what has traditionally been a male dominated workforce.

Women in the relocation industry is not new to Signature Relocation as women have always played a very important role within our company. We are proud that three of our four upper management positions as well as 80% of our support staff are filled by women. We also encourage the growth of women within our organization by offering continuous education and training for our support staff team. We appreciate the value women bring to our industry and are excited to see this being acknowledged and supported by our peers.
