IBPSA Members: Last Tuesday, Feb 8th, all Active Members of IBPSA received an email with instructions on getting logged in to our NEW Association Management System. This email is very important, so if you don’t believe you received it, please contact Angy at 877-318-8172. Getting your log in set is the first step, the education module is in final testing now and will be activated soon. The full switchover will be completed by the end of February when you will no longer have access to the old system. Our CEO, Carmen Rustenbeck, is leading live onboarding sessions via Zoom to help you get started. Please go to this page to register for a time that works for you (more times will be added later, including some weekends).

IBPSA Members-Only Webinar: On Thursday, February 24th, Beth Klein with Kuranda Dog & Cat Beds will be leading a webinar to discuss bedding options for facilities. IBPSA Members may register for this webinar through your new InfoHub (see above) or through the private IBPSA Members-Only Facebook page.
