Our Bulletin Board is a great spot to visit. We will announce new features
to our site and offer limited availability products to our members. Unlike
the IPA store which will feature our regular merchandise, the Bulletin
Board will offer one of a kind and special products and services that
will be of interest to our members.
If you have any goods or services to offer our members at a special IPA
member price, email us and describe your offer.
Join Us At Facebook, LinkedIn
As many already know IPA has grown
and reached out to thousands of wonderful photographers, videographers,
journalists, correspondents, radio and television personalities and beautiful
models by starting new groups on the leading social and business networking
sites.
You can now join us at Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, Picasa Web, YouTube and other sites and join our groups there or simply join our president Len Rapoports Networks.
In a few short months our membership on these other sites has grown to over
5,000 affiliate members and continues to be very strong. Our web site traffic
has increased by 70% over the past three months with page views now up to
half million each month and continues to grow.
If you haven't joined any of these sites yet, now is a good time to do so. With the poor global economy this type of networking is good for individuals and good for your business too. Visit our new Network With Us page here and join us today.
Help us build IPA and strengthen our community.

Benefit
IPA wants
to reward our members for helping us grow our membership ranks. So
we have made it both rewarding and easy to do so. Simply tell
those you think may benefit from membership in IPA about our organization
and the many benefits of membership. If you believe they will join,
simply email
us their names, prior to their application for membership. When
they join and pay for their Platinum Membership, we will credit your
account with a $25 credit for each new member that joins us.
There is no limit to the money you can earn on this promotion, but you
must be an IPA member in good standing and email us with a list of those
people that you have referred to IPA for membership prior to their joining.
Those members must join within 15 days from the date you refer them to
us and before March 31, 2010.
Now you can have your husband, wife, siblings, friends or business
associates join you when you travel on an IPA assignment, attend shows
and events and you can all enjoy the many benefits a Platinum Member
and a member of the media receives at IPA.
If you refer only 10 people you know during this promotional period you
can earn $250 toward your Platinum Memberships renewal fee. This means
you receive a free years renewal (or extension of your current membership
period) for simply referring 10 people for membership. Even if you
only refer one new member, you will still earn a $25 credit toward your
renewal and you will then be able to enjoy working with your referrals
while you travel, cover events, enjoy the many benefits your IPA staff
status gives you and so much more. Do them a favor, do one for
yourself and one for IPA, tell everyone you know about the benefits of
membership at IPA.
Note: This offer may not be combined with any other offers, discounts
or promotions.
Referrals must register and pay
for their Platinum Membership within 15 days from the date you email
us their names to qualify for your $25 credit.
IPA members can now share their videos on our web site.
Videographer and other IPA members have asked us for a method to display their videos on our site and in their profiles. We have made it easy using YouTube to help store the videos and display them here.
When you sign up for a free YouTube account they will allow you to upload your videos and you will see an HTML code that you can copy and paste into the body of your IPA profiles. It is fast and easy and will add another vital way to show your talent on our site.
For further information on how to use your YouTube video on our site please go to our Forum for complete details. By the way, Google and Yahoo also offer a similar video service, so check them out as well.
Watch for our new contests coming soon. You can win valuable
prizes from our IPA store and gain the recognition you deserve.
Contests will be run in both the Photo and Journalistic areas so start
to get your best work ready...

Members with an expired account (up to 60 days)
that wish to renew their membership and retain their current member
ID number may do so. Expired memberships will be renewed from
their current expiration date for the length of the new renewal term
(one or two years). A late renewal will no longer be renewed
for one or two years from the date you decide to renew.
What This Means:Your
membership expired on October 30, 2009 and it is now December 2009. Your
one year renewal will expire on October 30, 2010 or ten months from the
date you decided to renew. Please do not let your membership lapse and
enjoy a full 12 month term.
If you have let your membership expire over 60 days, you will be required
to complete a new member registration and we will assigned a new member
ID number. Your old profile and all of your articles and photos
were removed from our database and cannot be retrieved.
Those members that purchased business cards with a previous member
id number, will no longer be valid and should not be used. IPA email
accounts may have been deleted on expired accounts as well and there
is no guarantee of acquiring that same email address at a future date.
Please do not let your membership expire, renew or extend your current
membership today.
