This Year in Review
Let’s take a moment to celebrate our IAP2 USA 2021 accomplishments. Membership growth, a commitment to DEI and a new Strategic Plan highlight the year. None of this would be possible without the hard work of our committed leadership and members. Thank you for your support.
Our top ten achievements include:
- Grew membership to more than 3,000 members
- Committed to equity and delivering on diversity, the organization focused on creating a culture that embodies diversity, equity, and inclusion in who we are and who we serve.
- Focused on trainer diversification and growth
- A total of 13 chapters and emerging chapters are now part of IAP2 USA.
- A number of programs and projects were re-envisioned as the board outlined its strategic plan priorities and timelines in light of the pandemic disruption.
- Virtual Training programs were continued and refined
- Harmonization process is underway with staff and volunteer involvement
- The board and volunteers completed a 2022-2024 Strategic Plan
- Achieved a very successful virtual NAC
- Completed an Executive Manager Transition Plan
Holding the number ten spot, Executive Manager Transition Plan, is by no means the least important of our achievements. IAP2 USA is fortunate to bring on board a new Executive Manager as our Strategic Development Manager Erin Zimmermann transitions to the top position on January 1, 2022. Erin brings national association experience and her two years of outstanding work for IAP2 USA overseeing harmonization, training, revenue development, DEI and a number of programs and projects. As the organization continues its transition and growth, your IAP2 staff is ready and eager to advance the mission. Welcome Erin.
You can reach Erin at Erin@iap2usa.org and Gail at Gail@iap2usa.org.
