CLOSED CAPTIONING IN PROGRESS

To better serve our hard of hearing community, IBPSA is currently in the process of adding Closed Captioning to all of the videos in our Learning Management System. As you can imagine, this is a bit time consuming!

As we work our way through this project, if you have a particular video that you need assistance with, please let us know at membership@ibpsa.com so that we can move it to the top of the list.

We are pleased to have found a way to provide this long-awaited service to our members!

TURN IN YOUR RECEIPTS FOR THE IBPSA REBATE PROGRAM

Now that the first quarter has ended (already?!) it is time for IBPSA Members to make sure that you have turned in your receipts for any Health Technology purchases that you made Jan 1-Mar 31.

IBPSA Members are automatically eligible for a rebate from Health Technology Professional Products.

Are you a Vendor interested in offering rebates to IBPSA Members? If so, contact us at membership@ibpsa.com. We’d love to talk!
