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. We are always looking for new people to volunteer and run for election to the Eboard. Here is your chance!
Nominations for elections are due by December 31 of the year prior to the election. The voting period runs...

We know how important the IPMS-USA Journal is to you. As you may be aware, there are a lot of "behind the scenes" changes taking place. The society's magazine has been managed for 18 years, more or less in full, by Chris Bucholz and John Heck. Recently, both decided to leave their positions for a number of reasons and do so with our greatest appreciation for their guiding hand for almost 2 decades. Just as in any large organization, it is not our place to share these details, but rather to figure out how these rather large shoes can be filed by new volunteers in order to meet the demands of producing the IPMS/USA Journal.
