On May 18, 2016, Coin Laundry Association President and CEO Brian Wallace welcomed attendees to the opening of the third Excellence in Laundry Conference<\/a>, a biennial event hosted by the trade association and held this year on the spacious grounds of the 220-acre Ojai Valley Inn & Spa.<\/p>\n The event’s educational sessions kicked off with Dr. Alan Beaulieu, president of ITR Economics, who presented “Good Days Ahead” to a packed crowd in the Anacapa Ballroom. One of the nation’s foremost economic forecasters spelled out a few of the reasons why laundry owners today should be optimistic.<\/p>\n He pointed to “near-record levels” in the manufacturing sector, a strengthening on the service side of the economy, a healthy employment outlook, a rise in real personal income and the fact that the U.S. is virtually an energy-independent country as signs that much of the economic gloom and doom being portraying on the nightly news may be less than accurate.<\/p>\n The second speaker of the morning was Tim Greiner, co-founder of Pure Strategies, Inc., a company that has worked with businesses like Walmart and The North Face to create workable sustainability programs. He stressed three main areas in which running a greener, more sustainable laundry operation could help owners succeed. Those categories included productivity, risk reduction and growth opportunity.<\/p>\n The third keynoter, who spoke on the second morning of the conference, was demographics expert Paul Taylor \u2013 author of “The Next America” \u2013 who shined a light on the likely impacts of today’s quickly shifting demographics within the U.S.<\/p>\n The second day of the conference also featured a jam-packed session called “Doing Well by Doing Good,” in which successful store operators discussed some of the programs they’ve implemented that are making a difference in the communities they serve.<\/p>\n
