John Figueroa, the Director of Local Chapters, has collected suggestions from chapters on their best practices. Chapters can adopt these practices as is. In no way are these practices meant to be a directive from IPMS/USA.

The attached Best Practice is a spreadsheet giving chapter treasurers ways to track revenue and expenses. A member listing spreadsheet is also included.

For questions with the Treasurer Spreadsheet contact David Mason at dmason67@msn.com or Mark Norman at marknorm@hotmail.com. An introduction YouTube is available at https://youtu.be/ZC8KxOOGcLM.

If a chapter has practices in use they would like to share, please send them...

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.

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...
