Update from NPMA Executive Board

Advance the profession of Asset Management through leadership in education, standards, compliance, and certifications.

Update on Spring and Fall Seminars

In an effort to remain nimble as an association and continue to provide the greatest value to our membership, the NPMA Executive Board has been evaluating the current structure of our education content – specifically the seminars hosted in the Spring and Fall. Over the past few years (pre-COVID) we have seen a decline in the participation at these events and have struggled to find Chapters that were willing and able to serve as hosts in each of the Regions. In addition, the rising costs of putting on these smaller events, at hotels in locations that would be a draw to our members, has made it extremely difficult to continue to offer the events at a reasonable registration fee.

As a result of these challenges, the Spring and Fall seminars will be converting from in-person events to a virtual event that will be held in conjunction with Asset Management Awareness Month each March – with our first offering occurring in March 2023. These changes will be effective immediately and more information on the specifics of the new event will be coming in the latter part of this year – so stay tuned for details! This new format will allow for increased member participation, provide the ability to attract more content from speakers across the organization and save on resources that keep our organization running. Making this change will allow us to place our focus on the National Education Seminar as our flagship in-person event, as well as providing additional opportunities and support for Chapters to host local Chapter Workshops (both virtual and in-person) for their members.

We understand that change is never easy, but we believe that these changes will help NPMA continue to grow as an organization. We appreciate the membership support and look forward to seeing you at NES!
