The New IPMS/USA Membership and Convention Registration System is coming January 1, 2022!

That may not seem like an exciting announcement, but it means a big change for the better in the way IPMS/USA manages our member database and registers members for the National Convention. Here are some of the highlights of the new system, and how it will improve the way you as a member will interact with IPMS/USA.

From Outgoing President John Noack

I want to take this last opportunity to express my appreciation to the current, incoming and past Executive Boards of IPMS USA.

As IPMS/USA transitions to a new membership and event management system (Wild Apricot) and we update our website, we need your help.  Do you have a background working with web apps or web content design? Are you a writer who can help us get the IPMS story across better on our website? The following is a list of positions we envision in support of the transition to Wild Apricot and on an ongoing basis, plus a few that are open in other roles.  IPMS/USA members who volunteer will receive the required supplemental training, and your membership will be complimentary during your tenure, but your biggest satisfaction will come from helping ensure the Society’s growth and continuation through the work you are doing. We look forward to hearing from you!
