Welcome to the new IPMS/USA website. Please remember that the Event Calendar remains on the archived website and that new events need to be added there.
We will be working out any minor issues as we find them; there are a few and we're looking at them.
As you probably know, IPMS/USA is a volunteer based organization. All of our Executive Board members, Regional Coordinators, Webmasters, and Convention Chairs and teams are volunteers. We often hear from members that they want to be more involved in the Society and help improve it. This is your chance to be a part of the future of IPMS/USA and make it better for everyone!
The 2024 IPMS National Convention Team has been working tirelessly to bring what we hope will be the biggest spectacle in IPMS National Convention history! This mission brief provides you with all the information we have available at the time of this writing. It is our sincere hope that you will join us in Madison this summer!
As you probably have read, Dave Lockhart has resigned from the role of President as of October 31, 2023. In accordance with the duties of the First Vice President, I accepted the role of President until the end of the next term.
To replace me in my previous position I nominated John Noack to once again take on the responsibilities of the First Vice President. He accepted and the Eboard approved his appointment.
Effective Oct 31st, I will be resigning as president of IPMS/USA. While this has been a difficult decision for me, I have though on this for a while and feel it would be best for myself and IPMS/USA. While I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the past two years. There have been situations out of my control and others where I should have displayed more control. Perhaps my leadership skills are not what is needed now.
My days of tilting at windmills are over and I’m looking forward to getting back to the joy of building models.
Sexual Harassment
There have been several posts on other social media sites concerning an incident of sexual harassment at an IPMS/USA event.
Let me reiterate in the strongest wording that IPMS/USA has not and will not condone any such behavior. The board takes these issues very seriously and will address them immediately.
In this incident the individual responsible what immediately dismissed from IPMS/USA and is not allowed to attend our national convention.
