RICHMOND, Ky. — The Association for Linen Management (ALM) has launched the ALM Circle app, which the association believes to be the first year-round professional app created specifically for the textile care industry.

Available exclusively to ALM members, ALM Circle puts trusted resources, education, industry expertise, and professional connections at their fingertips, the association shares in a press release. 

“Our members should be able to turn to ALM when they need an answer, a tool, an opportunity, or someone who understands the challenge in front of them,” says Sarah Brobeck, president and CEO of ALM. 

“ALM Circle puts those resources and relationships in their hands, making them easier to find, use, and carry with them every day.”

From the production floor to the executive office, members can use the app to find answers, solve problems, develop their teams, and stay connected to what is happening across the industry, the association shares. 

When members need a practical tool, guidance on an industry issue, or insight from someone who has faced the same challenge, they can open ALM Circle from their phone, tablet, or computer. 

Members can search ALM’s growing library of resources and previous discussions, ask questions, connect directly with experienced industry professionals, participate in live education, access recordings, and explore professional and career opportunities.

The association says this significant collection of practical tools, educational materials, infection prevention resources, and industry guidance is included with ALM membership at no additional cost. Searchable profiles, direct messaging, and member discussions also make it easier to exchange ideas, learn from other operations, and build relationships throughout the industry.

The ALM Circle app is available now through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Members can also access ALM Circle through the web. 

Future releases will add access to ALM certifications and Spanish-language resources, with additional languages considered based on member needs.
