IPS Organizational Review - Resolution

February 26 Dr. Simek sent an email updating everyone on the outcome of our organizational review. It was a best-case scenario. IPS, for the first time in its history, is a stand-alone organization reporting directly to the president.

We've had some great leaders in the past who have also had responsibility for other activities such as pubic relations, government relations, statewide continuing education or a variety of other areas. Now, we are singly focused on our public service mission!

Thanks goes to the review committee members including Joe Johnson, Jack Britt, Jimmy Cheek and Joe DePietro. They spent a number of hours asking good questions, reviewing information and listening.

A special thanks goes to a number of our key customers, partners and stakeholders for taking time from their busy schedules to meet with the committee in Nashville last November. Their participation made the difference. You can see their names listed on the final report that is posted on the IPS web site.

Now, onward and upward!
