We are only 3 weeks away from another great IPMS Convention. The contest features almost 200 competitive categories plus unique theme awards for 2017. A picture of our incredible trophies is attached.
For those that have already sponsored trophy packages: Thank you all for your support.
If you have not sponsored a package yet, please consider that the trophy package is one of the major contest expenses. Convention chapters work to provide quality awards, but that costs money. As with other conventions, we do not want trophies to be a "profit" item, but we do need them to break even. Only a little over half of the trophies are currently sponsored and, like so many past conventions, we will find the other half unsponsored and the general convention fund will have to make up...

Dear IPMS-USA Members:
As a result of a dialogue between the newsletter editor of a Region 11 chapter, the R-11 Region Coordinator, and John Noack, Director of Local Chapters, a very comprehensive list of questions coming from Region 11 members was submitted to the entire E-board. The board committed to a written response, with the understanding that the questions and answers would be shared with the general membership.
The resulting document covers a lot of territory, but for those unable to attend the annual meeting of the Society at the upcoming National Convention, it serves as a good overview of what your E-board is working on.
Regards,
John Noack DLC
