We will be working out any minor issues as we find them; there are a few and we're looking at 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. 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.
The 2024 National Contest Awards List has been posted.
In recognition of IPMS/USA's 60th anniversary, we are pleased to announce a year-long giveaway of models, reference material and modeling products to our membership! Our generous partners have donated numerous items for giveaways over the next twelve months, celebrating our 60th anniversary. Every month we are drawing several names from our Membership database and will be sending them something from the donated items!
Our first winners are Forrest Beattie, Randy S. Bumgardner, and John Koethe.

At the April 21 IPMS/USA Executive Board Meeting, the Executive Board voted to adopt the IPMS/USA Code of Ethics. This set of principles will guide the organization’s decision making and activities, as well as the behavior of its Executive Board members and volunteers and sets forth our commitment to ethical behavior. This IPMS/USA Code of Ethics articulates the core ethical beliefs of our society.
