Volunteer Opportunities

The IPMI Allyship & Equity Advisory Committee works both internally and externally to promote opportunities for traditionally underrepresented voices to be heard and amplified. The focus will be on providing education and tools for IPMI, its member organizations, and the broader parking, mobility, and transportation community to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive future.

Awards of Excellence: Judges select winners in each category based upon published criteria. Judges are experienced professionals in their field, in addition to planners, engineers, architects, and marketing professionals. The program includes projects, programs, and marketing campaigns and judges review submissions and share their expertise to select Excellence and Merit winners.

Professional Recognition Award: Judges review nominations and select winners of the annual awards recognizing excellence in multiple categories, including the Industry Professional of the Year, Organization of the Year, Emerging Leader of the Year, and Professional Excellence Awards.

The Conference Program Task Force reviews and ranks speaker submissions through the Call for Presentations for the annual IPMI Conference & Expo.  Active CAPPs and other professional designations, e.g., AIA, PE, LEED AP, PMP, etc., are encouraged to submit.

The Education Development Committee delivers and evaluates professional development training opportunities in alignment with the CAPP Role Delineation Study.

Contributors receive the Ask the Experts question for Parking & Mobility. If the question is in your area of expertise, volunteers share a thoughtful, responsive answer with our members that will get them thinking, and hopefully give them a new perspective on the topic. Serving as a contributor allows you to share your knowledge and become a well-known thought leader.

The Planning, Design and Construction Committee explores issues and develops projects, providing technical expertise on the role and specifics of planning, architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate, including the design and adaptation of new and future facilities with a focus on technology and mobility.

IPMI’s Policy & Legislative Cohort provides strategic guidance and recommendations on policies and regulations impacting the parking and mobility industry. The cohort will work to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and the public on effective strategies for improving urban mobility through well-planned parking policies. The group will focus on analyzing and advising on policy measures that influence industry operations, management, and growth, ensuring that the interests and needs of IPMI’s membership are effectively represented and addressed.

The Sustainable Mobility Task Force creates and investigates projects and programs that educate, inform, and benefit the parking, transportation, and mobility industry regarding sustainable mobility. Volunteers contribute to Parking & Mobility magazine, develop collaborative articles, education, and content.

The State & Regional Associations Committee provides a working group of liaisons and a platform to share information and best practices among IPMI’s allied state and regional associations and their leadership. Liaisons are selected by the individual SRAs to participate and share their experience.

The Technology Committee provides education on cutting‐edge technology, how to implement that technology, and best practices on leveraging multiple technologies as the industry advances and evolves. The committee develops and presents high-visibility educational sessions, including an annual presentation offered to State and Regional Associations, a national webinar, and online courses. Volunteers contribute to collaborative articles, presentations and publications, and additional areas of research.

Get as much as you give.

“I am a strong advocate for young professionals to not only belong to industry associations but to become active in taking volunteer and leadership roles. IPMI is a great organization to have a sense of place within a large industry, and I would implore all those starting their careers in parking to become a member.”

“Being a part of IPMI’s volunteer community has been an amazing resource for me and my career in the parking industry. Whether growing my knowledge base, helping to create industry-changing content, or expanding my network, every opportunity to volunteer has provided me ten-fold benefits!”

Brett Wood, CAPP, PE /
President, Wood Solutions Group

“Volunteering for IPMI allowed me to get even more involved. What started with serving on a committee turned into two committees, writing an article, hosting a Learning Lab, speaking at a conference, getting my CAPP, and attending the IPMI Leadership Summit. It all started with that first decision to get more involved.”
