It is with deepest sympathy that ALM shares the passing of longtime ALM member Wesley Breedlove. Breedlove passed away on Sunday, June 25, in Ohio. Breedlove played an instrumental role in the initial development and success of the Association for Linen Management’s (ALM) Laundry & Linen College. Breedlove, who was the second individual in the U.S. to earn the designation of Registered Laundry & Linen Director (RLLD) continued to devote tireless volunteer hours to this program throughout his career, including service as ALM’s National Vice President from 2005–2009.
The Laundry & Linen College program continues today as the premiere training program for textile care service professionals, awarding the RLLD certification to almost 1,000 individuals. “Wes’s passion and devotion to the industry, ALM, and the college go unmatched, and he will long be remembered for his dedication to education within the industry” says ALM Executive Director Linda Fairbanks.
