Note: This is a rehash of an IAM Learning session from back in February of this year. As we looked through our archives, it struck us that there is so much great content there, and we don't do enough with it. So here it is again.
Every day, your company provides services for a fellow IAM Member. In almost every case, your company is paid and everyone is happy. But what happens when you don’t get paid?
One of the most valuable benefits IAM provides is the Receivable Protection Program - A service designed to resolve delayed or defaulted payments between members. Whether IAM intervenes with another member to get you paid, notifies you of which IAM members are not paying invoices, or reimburses you for bad debts owed by defaulting members, the RPP delivers considerable value – more than $200 per member annually.
We encourage you to join us for this interactive conversation to learn more about the program and how we can improve it for each of you.

IAM's Carl Weaver and Brian Limperopulos discuss IAM's new Strategic Plan, what it means, and how it is bringing IAM's internal efforts, as well of that of the Board, in line with each other. they also discuss the association's new mission and vision statements. This is a great step and clearly outlines what projects and efforts we are to work on. Carl's comment: A strategic plan, coupled with mission and vision statements, gives a clear guide for what should be done. In short, if we can examine the intended outcome of projects and efforts and see how they support the plan and statements. If they do not, we really need to rethink why we are doing it.
This seems like a simple and straightforward line of reasoning, and it is, but getting to this place took a long time and a lot of effort, starting with an evaluation of why we are here and what values we want to uphold and inculcate to others in the industry. It is a long process, and in this case, a fruitful one.
