Following the release of a Mobility article entitled "Where Have All the Elders Gone?", Daniel Bloom SCRP has spent two years compiling a written history of the relocation industry. In the course of almost 200 pages "Just Get Me There" takes the reader on a journey from the early days of the industry in the early 1950's to the present day. Divided into four parts, the book looks at the journey through the years, the role of the real estate relocation departments, the evolution of the relocation policies and the trends which will dictate whether the industry survives until the year 2020. Reviewed by some of the leaders of the industry, the preliminary response has been outstanding. Laura Herring of the Impact Group said "This book is absolutely one of its kind. What an outstanding reference for the relocation industry. Your detailed research heralds the past hero architects of the industry, examines the present state of our industry and clearly outlines what is needed to survive the future . This will be truly a must read for anyone who wants to be considered a relocation professional. Congratulations! A herculean task well done! " ; Marita Bruun stated that "I have finished your wonderful - absolutely wonderful - book. You really must be complimented on the research you have done .If this does not become a text book for anyone who enters the Relocation Industry I will be surprised, this is an assembly of details which should be mandatory for anyone who enters this field;" Bill Heald of Relocation Knowledge said "Thanks to Dan Bloom, who has undertaken a bold journey on behalf of corporate relocation practitioners everywhere. His chronicle of the genesis and maturation of a business to which so many of us have dedicated our adult lives (or a good portion thereof) is a valuable read for all persons in the trade, regardless of their position or length of time in service. Dan carefully ties the growth of this unique profession to the social and economic circumstances which influenced its development through the years. While the history is meaningful, and quite a lot of fun to read, Dan also puts forth some thoughtful and somewhat startling questions about the future of the relocation industry—and offers some surprising conclusions that left me thinking. On behalf of all of us who would have forgotten the details of our origins in the business, and who would have proceeded without insightful thought about its future, I offer sincere congratulations and gratitude to Dan." Dick Crovisier of the Fry-Wagner Moving and Storage company added "Dan Bloom has been a relocation industry leader for many decades and has contributed to the education and development of hundreds of industry professionals. Just Get Me There is the new industry primer for persons seeking an education in relocation, is a trip down memory lane for persons in or interested in the profession and is a must read for all with any involvement with employee mobility. I plan to give copies to my clients, centers of influences and staff as a great way to thank, educate, develop and reward. Thanks Dan for making another significant contribution to the relocation business."
