Education Team

The Education Committee is responsible for planning all education programs in conjunction with the Content Task Force and Director of Chapter Education. The Task Force will make recommendations as to program format and content, while the education committee is responsible for carrying out all logistics of the programs, including compiling promotion materials and handling speaker contracts.

Composition: The Education Committee is composed of IMPI members who have a vested interest in the chapter’s educational programming, would like to develop their skills as planners, gain experience in meeting/association planning, or those looking to network and maintain involvement within the chapter. 
The Committee will have (4) meetings per year – (2) in person, and (2) conference calls. Attendance is highly recommended. Education Committee members are expected to take a lead planner role on a minimum of (2) programs per year. Each program either has (1) or (2) lead planners, depending on the format of the event. The time required of a lead planner varies, but should not exceed 8 hours per program. Once a volunteer is committed to be a lead planner on a program, it is expected that he or she will fulfill the duty.

Benefits: Committee members will gain experience in association education management, program management, association structure/procedures, and educational programming development.
