State and Regional Associations Committee
T
he State and Regional Associations (SRA) Committee kicked into high gear in the new committee season, creating a soon-to-be-launched survey of all SRAs to benchmark critical success factors and programs available to participants across the country. The IPI/SRA liaison program continues with more than 15 active liaisons communicating on a monthly basis, sharing ideas, challenges, and best practices. With the success of the Thirty Minutes of Education (TME) series in 2017, the committee is planning two new educational sessions this year, the first focused on crafting exceptional education programs. In 2017, the TMEs offered included “Best Practices in Sponsorship” by Bonnie Watts, CEM, of IPI, and “Content Isn’t King, It’s the Kingdom” by Melissa Rysak, CPSM, a seasoned marketer and social media expert who also presented during the 2017 IPI Leadership Summit.

The committee is planning for the next Greenbuild in Chicago, Ill., in 2018 and advancing the parking profession and industry in the green-building community. In 2018 the committee will engage in expanding the Green Star Program, our recognition of exhibitors at the IPI Conference & Expo who offer sustainability-related products and services in the industry. In addition, we will explore the work of TDM through an educational “at a glance” publication to be released at the Conference. CO-CHAIRS: Brian D. Shaw, CAPP, and Joshua
