Adoption of the IPMS/USA |
|
After much discussion, IPMS/USA has decided
to adopt/adapt the Convention Management Program developed by Bruce Briggs
of Phoenix, Arizona to use for its national convention. As this program is
already in existence and has a consistent track record of success wherever
it has been used and since Bruce was willing to take on the task, it was
decided to discontinue the search process early and move forward with this
project with minimal delay. Bruce will be working with Mary Jane Kinney,
our Office Manager, and Bob Hester, our Internet Coordinator, to ensure
his program meets any additional needs of IPMS/USA. It is hoped to bring
this new system on line within the next few conventions.
We believe this system will benefit all members of the Society as well as make the National Convention easier for the host chapters to manage by moving many of the data tracking/house keeping tasks to the national level.
