Fellow IPMS members:

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jessica Ivancso to fill the position of Secretary on the IPMS/USA Executive Board. Jessica brings her skills in meeting management, event planning, and effective communications to the position. She has previously held volunteer positions with the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) at all levels and roles,including Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President, and President.

Jessica brings 25+ years of professional experience in the technology field. She’s been involved with IPMS since 2004, when she attended her first IPMS Chapter event, and regularly attends local events with her husband. She supports her Region 1 Chapter by managing Facebook content and curating online resources, reference books, and magazine reviews, while encouraging interaction with followers online, at meetings, shows, and events. Most recently, she has focused on connecting orphaned model collections with new homes – unvalued stashes need love, too. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of Gunpla with builders who have yet to experience working with these specialty kits. She continues to enhance her skills with airbrushing, weathering, and creating vignettes with input from the countless IPMS members she’s met nationwide. Please welcome Jessica to the E-Board!

Phil Peterson
President, IPMS/USA
