IPMS Email Blast for Events

Background

IPMS/USA has been using an ad hoc method of advertising Local Chapter events with email blasts to IPMS/USA members within an area of interest. This has proven effective for the Chapters but cumbersome to manage. The IPMS/USA Director of Local Chapters (DLC), in concert with the IPMA/USA Member and Event System Administrator (System Administrator), has developed the following procedures to standardize an efficient process for the Local Chapters to use to advertise their events via Wild Apricot, our Member and Event Data System.

2020 IPMS/USA National Convention Cancelled

The following is a joint announcement from the San Marcos 2020 Convention Leadership team and the IPMS USA Executive Board.

We jointly appreciate all the feedback we received regarding this year‘s convention. We’ve taken your comments and concerns into careful consideration, while maintaining an ongoing dialogue and negotiation with the Embassy Suites convention center in San Marcos. These negotiations have been proceeding carefully due to the significant financial exposure that IPMS would be subject to if we simply decided to cancel the convention unilaterally.

CAN/AM Con '20 CANCELED

IPMS/Champlain Valley is cancelling our CAN/AM Con '20 show and contest which was scheduled for April 25, 2020.  Like most other cancellations this year, this decision was based on CDC guidance to cancel all events which would have been attended by 50 or more persons.  We're hoping to slide this event to 2021, with further details to follow.
