The Housekeeping Solutions team is gratified that our readers and advertisers have embraced our new publication with such enthusiasm. Our first issue, in April, was a rousing success. So successful, in fact, that Housekeeping Solutions will be coming to you six times next year.

In the meantime, we are working with the International Sanitary Supply Association to sponsor educational seminars for you at this year’s show, Oct. 16-18 in Orlando. Topics will include training, workloading and operations management advice. As we reported in the first issue of Housekeeping Solutions, the ISSA/INTERCLEAN-USA convention and trade show will be open to housekeeping professionals and contract cleaners every year.

In addition to the ISSA show, we also will sponsor educational seminars at the largest regional cleaning trade show in the country — the New Jersey Sanitary Supply Association’s “Supply Line 2002” in Atlantic City in May.

And, as always, we hope you’ll communicate your information needs so we can tailor our editorial content and trade show seminars. Thanks again for your enthusiasm and support. We look forward to keeping you up to date on the latest trends and issues in the cleaning industry.
