As Eric noted in his recent announcement, we have elected to close the Forums pages on the IPMS/USA website. 

This decision was not taken lightly and there are several reasons for doing so. It is part of an overall program to update the website. The primary reason is that Forum participation was limited to a relatively small number of people. In contrast, there is much more activity on other social media platforms including our own Facebook page and associated groups, along with a growing presence on YouTube and the other platforms that Director of Social Media Eugenie Taylor Ray manages and promotes. 

A secondary driver is the cost of maintaining the Forums pages and we feel that this expense would be better applied to other growth opportunities. 

We encourage our Forum users to participate in these other platforms. 

John Noack, President, IPMS/USA
