Awards It's Time to Honor our Own...
Your nominations are needed! 

 

Something that sets IPPS apart from other organizations is how we honor our own. Members are nominated, research done on their rare attributes, and one-by-one, the presenter reveals details while the audience quietly guesses the recipient's name. Be a part of the fun! Nominate a member you are impressed with! Help us pay tribute to members of the IPPS Eastern Region who have made positive contributions to our industry and/or to IPPS through their actions.  It just takes a minute to nominate a worthy individual for either the 2014 Fellow Award or the 2014 Award of Merit.
