Our History

WERC was founded in 1991 by a group of local professionals dedicated to the relocation industry.
Most of the professionals involved during our inception were active members of the national organization, Employee Relocation Council and wanted to bring the sharing of ideas and knowledge to the local professional who did not have the opportunity to attend the national conferences.

Early members of WERC were representatives of corporations such as SC Johnson, CUNA Mutual Insurance Society, Allen Bradley Company( now a Rockwell Company), and Kohl's Department Stores. Some of the early members representing service providers included Graebel Van Lines, and The Relocation Center of Milwaukee.

WERC continues to grow and evolve to serve the membership in promoting professional standards, conducting educational workshops and seminars, and sharing ideas in the field of corporate relocation throughout Wisconsin.
