News from IBPSA Affiliates
News from IBPSA affiliates IBPSA affiliates are asked to submit a report to the IBPSA Board each year to keep Board members informed about their activities and membership. These are too detailed to include in ibpsaNEWS, so affiliates have been asked to make their latest annual report available through their web sites, and this section includes only selected, recent news. Other news from affiliates may be available from their websites; the URLs for these are available on the IBPSA Central web site at www.ibpsa.org/?page_id=29.
