- Four member meetings each year feature either speakers or panel discussions on topics relevant to relocation.
- The ReLocate newsletter contains relocation-related articles and items of interest to relocation members and support service providers.
- Relocation training in connection with the EARP (European Academy of Relocation Professionals) furthers the professionalism of members.
- Representation of the association at various events and promotion of members' interests to both government bodies and private businesses helps to establish relocation as a recognized industry.
