Being actively involved with IPMI has been instrumental to my career and my operation’s success. It’s also been a big piece of our staying on top of industry news and trends—the more people I meet and connect with, the more I learn.

IPMI’s Call for Volunteers is now open. Every two years, we invite you to apply for membership on our committees and task forces, which are some of the best ways to get involved in the association, grow your personal industry network, and work on projects and initiatives that shape the future of both parking and mobility and IPMI itself. Whatever your specific interests, there is a volunteer opportunity for you and I know from experience that involvement is both personally and professionally rewarding.

Serving as an IPMI volunteer is a two-year commitment, usually served from wherever you are through conference calls and online conversations, and a member benefit. I hope you’ll click through to learn more, choose the opportunities that best fit your interests, and submit a simple application here. The call ends August 12—be sure to get your materials in before then. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you through IPMI.
