ISSA Today Archives • January-February 2024 • ISSA In Action!

2023 was a year of remembrance and reflection for ISSA as the worldwide cleaning industry association celebrated its 100th anniversary. However, 2023 was about much more than just reminiscing. Rather than resting on its laurels, your association was laser-focused on its mission to change the way the world views cleaning. Visit issa.com/2023YIR for a look back at how our various ISSA groups and departments not only celebrated our 100th anniversary, but also laid the groundwork for another century of success.

ISSA is encouraging our members to join the worldwide cleaning industry in participating in International Cleaning Week, March 24–30, 2024. Join ISSA in saluting essential cleaning workers across the globe and expanding the public acknowledgment of the industry’s positive impact on the economy, as well as how cleaning relates to improving public health. For information on how you can get involved today and participate in this event, visit issa.com/icw.
