It is election time for IPMS/USA! The following nominations have been successfully made for their respective positions.
IPMS/USA Members,
As I write this, we are about halfway through the 60th year of IPMS/USA, and there are several ways we are celebrating.
John Figueroa had resigned his position as the IPMS/USA Director of Local Chapters (DLC) to concentrate his efforts as the Chairman of the IPMS/USA 2026 National Convention. The Executive Board would like to thank John for his exemplary service as DLC, and know he'll continue to bring his exceptional skill set to preparing for 2026 in Fort Wayne.
The IPMS/USA Executive Board has appointed Bob Delaney, currently the IPMS/USA Region 14 Coordinator, to fill the remainder of John's term. Please welcome Bob to your Executive Board.
Hi IPMS/USA Members,
I have been getting notified by several members that a spam email is out there supposedly coming from me.
Hey XXX,
I hope you are doing well. Do you have some free time today? I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.
Phil Peterson
IPMS/USA holds Executive Board elections every two years. The Eboard wants to be sure that anyone interested in running for office is fully informed as to what is expected of each officer. We also want our members to know what the candidates for the Eboard plan to do for the Society if elected, as well as why the candidate feels they are qualified to serve as an Eboard member. Here are some pointers on how to get on the ballot, what each officer position does, how much of your time it will take to do each job, and what the members need to know to vote for you.
The official policy of the International Plastic Modelers’ Society - U.S.A. (IPMS/USA©) is to uphold the highest legal, ethical, and moral standards where even the appearance of wrongdoing is indefensible. Our members and volunteers support IPMS/USA because they trust us to be good stewards of their resources and to uphold rigorous standards of conduct. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires a scrupulous regard for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity.
