Layout/Design/Editor: Joyce Dexter com). Project Manager: Janet Cave Seely HEADLINES What Makes a Dynasty? robably our most eagerly anticipated and widely read issues of The Portal maga- Pzine are those in which we highlight IAM member companies and the people who own and operate them. The focus of this issue is on IAM Dynasties, with a deeper dive into perhaps learning the factors affecting those companies’ success over three or more generations. To attempt to answer the question posed by my title, let’s start with the definition of the word dynasties. In my research I found several, but the one that seemed most on target is this: A dynasty is a series of leaders in the same family, like the British Royal Family, or a local commercial dynasty, in which several generations have made their name or fortune at the family business. The word dynasty, pronounced “DIE- nas-tee,” comes from the Greek word dynasteia, meaning “power, lordship, and sovereignty.” If you are part of a dynasty, you probably do have power—and possibly also wealth and privilege. I’m not sure about the power, wealth and privilege part when you apply the above definition to the moving and relocation industry. However, longstanding companies TERRY R. HEAD and the people who run them usually do command a lot of respect from their peers, so IAM President I guess that could constitute a type of wealth; and sometimes with respect comes the privilege and power to influence people. But on the flip side, when you are part of a dynasty, there is also pressure to achieve as much as your parents, grandparents and other relatives who either founded the com- pany or ran it before you. I think you will really enjoy viewing the profiles of IAM member dynasties as you discover some very interesting company and personal histories in our midst. I do have to admit that some of the stories made me feel quite old, as I have had the privilege of knowing and working with three—and in a few cases four—generations of some of these family-run businesses. Also in this issue, we remember and pay tribute to our dear friend Jackie Agner, who recently passed away following her courageous battle with cancer. Jackie, who was the Core Member Representative on the IAM Executive Committee, was a multi- generational member and longstanding volunteer leader who served the Association in a variety of capacities. As the heart and soul of the association, Jackie certainly commanded the respect of the board and membership, thus affording her—to echo the definition above—power, lordship, and sovereignty. I know she certainly had a lot of power and lordship over me … and I will miss that dearly. I would also like to bring your attention to a couple articles in this issue that offer summaries of two recent meetings and conferences in Asia in which IAM played a key role. I had the honor and privilege of attending and presenting at the IMC World’s 5th Annual International

Truck manufacturers and motor carriers have done much to achieve savings, but more could he realized with Fed- eral Government help through the Voluntary Truck and Bus Fuel Economy Program. The program is based on the concept that eco- nomic forces will drive voluntary conservation efforts. Although this approach appears to be working, the program can be made more ef- fective. This report identifies weaknesses in the pro- gram and makes several recommendations to strengthen it. EMD-80-40 MARCH 13,198O UNITED STATE GENERAL ACCOUNTINGOFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 ENERGY AND MINERALS DIVISION E-197114 To the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary Of Transportation The potential for trucks weighing over 10,000 pounds to save energy is substantial. The Voluntary Truck and Eus Fuel Economy Program is the primary Federal effort to increase fuel efficiency in the trucking industry. This report presents our evaluation of the program and makes recommendations to make it more effective. This report contains recommendations to you on pages 29 and 30. As you know, section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 requires the head of a Federal agency to submit a written statement on actions taken on our recommendations to the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Operations net later than 60 days after the date of the report and to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with the agency’s first request for appropriations made more than 60 days after the date of the report.
