2. Program delivery methods should include face-to-face meetings, as well as web-based training and development programs (i.e., webinars)
Member Services Committee

Duties and Responsibilities
In addition to specific roles required by membership on individual committees, committee members are expected to actively participate in the work of the committee, provide thoughtful input to committee deliberations, and focus on the best interests of the association and committee goals rather than on personal interests.
IPSA has made a commitment to promote the interests and capabilities of independently owned companies, but we can't do that without you.
