IPA Peer Communities offer members ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers who share similar job responsibilities either regionally or statewide. Members are connected through listserv discussions, virtual meet-ups, and in-person convenings.
IPA and GIFT listservs are online communities that provide an interactive forum for members to engage with their peers through group e-mails where they can share ideas, ask questions, and learn from each other. Contact Julie Markland if you would like to join a listserv.
