    National Clothesline

    SERVING THE DRYCLEANING INDUSTRY FOR OVER 60 YEARS

NCA appoints Hargrove-Avery as interim director

The board of directors for the National Cleaners Association (NCA) recently announced the appointment of Dawn Hargrove-Avery who will serve as its interim executive director.

She will take over the role that was left open following the recent passing of the association’s longtime Executive Director Nora Nealis late last year.

Hargrove-Avery’s educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Management.

She also has worked 22 years for NCA, including over 14 as its digital marketing manager.

In that time, she has accrued a multitude of accreditations in marketing, writing, content, and AI such as Certified Social Media Pro and Content Manager Pro.

A key aspect of Hargrove-Avery’s new role will be to work side by side with Ann Hargrove and Alan Spielvogel, two prominent members of the industry. Hargrove is known for her vast contributions to the wetcleaning sector and Spielvogel brings with him a wealth of technical expertise and insight.

Hargrove-Avery’s main focus will be to continue building on the strong foundation established by her predecessor and to keep NCA positioned as a leading association in the industry.

A 6-Month Planner

To that end, Hargrove-Avery also released a 6-month planner from NCA of all of its educational programs scheduled between now and the end of July.

First up is a program called “Supercharge CSR’s Performance that is set to take place on Jan. 21. Other programs in the coming months will include: Basic Spotting on Feb. 11; Advanced Spotting on March 3; Basic Pressing on April 7; and Advanced Pressing on April 28. Then on May 19, NCA plans to host another “Supercharge CSR’s Performance” program. Finally, a Basic Spotting class will take place on June 2, followed by an Advanced Spotting Course set for July 14.
