Puget Sound Relocation Council

What Puget Sound Relocation Council does

Puget Sound Relocation Council (PSRC) is a non-profit professional membership organization serving the corporate and household relocation industry in the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon). Founded in 2021 and operated from Beaverton, Oregon with a mailing address at PO Box 1904, Beaverton, OR 97075, the organization positions itself as the only regional association dedicated specifically to the relocation industry. It serves two intertwined constituencies: relocation service providers seeking business referrals, and corporate relocation managers seeking peer networking and industry education.

PSRC's offerings are organized around a central membership subscription that unlocks access to a member directory of relocation professionals, online discussion forums (Corporate and General), a relocation industry jobs board, and a recurring three-events-per-year programming cadence that includes the Cascade Conference and the Fall Meeting. Events are hosted at regional venues, with the 2026 Cascade Conference scheduled at The SOMM in Woodinville, WA. Technology delivery is via a member portal supporting login through Google, Microsoft, and Apple credentials, plus social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram for community engagement.

The organization's revenue model is membership-fee based (subscription/recurring), supplemented by corporate sponsorships; three sponsors — Equus, HSBC, and Paxton — are publicly listed. Membership pricing tiers and financial scale are not disclosed. Governance is board-led with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds. GTM is fundamentally event-driven and community-driven rather than sales-led: members and sponsors are acquired through events, member referrals, and directory visibility rather than outbound sales or marketing campaigns. There is no disclosed product roadmap, no AI capabilities, no M&A activity, and no geographic expansion outside Washington and Oregon.

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• Cartus: Major corporate relocation services provider operating squarely in PSRC's relocation ecosystem; less an association peer and more a likely member/sponsor customer that competes for share of voice in the same industry.
• ASAE (American Society of Association Executives): Membership organization for association professionals; comparable as an operational peer to PSRC (nonprofit, member-funded, events, education) though ASAE serves association executives as members rather than relocation professionals.
• International Association of Movers (IAM): Global trade association representing the moving services industry; overlaps with PSRC's relocation professional community on the household-goods/international-move side, though IAM focuses on service providers rather than the broader professional membership PSRC serves.
• American Staffing Association (ASA): Trade association for the U.S. staffing industry, including staffing firms that frequently handle workforce relocations; adjacent industry overlap with PSRC's relocation-professional membership base.

Direct peers

• Worldwide ERC (ERC): The largest U.S./global trade association for the corporate relocation industry, providing education, certification, networking events, and resources for relocation professionals — directly comparable mission and audience to PSRC but operating at a national/global scale.

Broad incumbents

• SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management): Largest U.S. professional association for HR practitioners, whose membership includes many corporate relocation managers who handle employee moves; PSRC's niche is a specialized subset of SHRM's broader HR scope.
