IPMS/USA Membership System Detailed Instructions for Chapter Contacts
Welcome to our new membership system! Whether it is your first visit or you are back to update yourchapter profile or pay chapter dues, here are step by step instructions to login as a Chapter Contact.
Once you are logged in please feel free to explore all the pages of the Membership system. Please let us
know if you come across any issues as you look around.
In our MyIPMSUSA.org system chapters are a special kind of “member”. You will see some references toyour membership through out the system; just keep in mind that chapters are members too, as far as
the system is concerned. Each Chapter Contact has been assigned a chapter email address to be able
to access the system and maintain their chapter information. You can’t use the same email address
you use for your personal membership to do your Chapter Contact work- each “member” including
chapters has to have a unique email address. So just remember to use your Chapter@ipmsusa.org
email address when you are going into the system as a Chapter Contact, and your personal email
address when you are going in as yourself.
To get started, follow the “Chapters” link on the ipmsusa.org home page, or follow the link you got in
the email that gave you a link to these instructions. You will see the page below:
