“During the past 23 years as a parking professional, specifically as a member of IPMI and serving on the Board of Directors for approximately 18 consecutive years, the comradery and companionship I’ve experienced have been incredible. The networking, development, professional associations, partnerships and feeling of unity have been tremendous.”
—Allen Corry, CAPP

IPMI has always been blessed with great leaders—Allen Corry, CAPP will go down in the books as one of the great ones. Over his decades of service to the industry, Allen gifted a wealth of knowledge and experience to our community from his years of service in the Army and managing parking and transportation at a university, municipality, and now an airport. 

With his multiple positions he has moved to various parts of the country and each time the nearby state and regional parking association has benefited. He is truly a giver, always volunteering to help when asked. Allen spent 18 years a representative on the IPMI Board of Directors, leading by example and serving as a mentor for two generations of parking and mobility professionals.

With gratitude for his lifetime of service to the profession and those who serve it, IPMI gratefully presents Allen Corry with a 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award.

“Allen has been the one leader in this industry who has set a very high bar with his level of ethics, values, and mentorship. I am lucky enough to have shared many of my years with him as a friend and a trusted colleague.”

Wayne Mixdorf, CAPP

Assistant Director of Urban Development, City of Lincoln, Nebraska

“I had the pleasure of serving with Wayne on the CAPP Board for several years as well as working together on other projects for nearly 15 years. Wayne’s effort on the board were instrumental as we moved to elevate the CAPP credential’s prestige and reach. Known for his stellar reputation and extensive parking knowledge, Wayne is leaving a memorable legacy having mentored, developed, or touched many parking professionals on his journey.”

“Parking was my portal into the world of public administration. It taught me how to deliver services in an efficient, effective, and equitable manner. Parking showed me how the parts fit together when you are trying to manage a city.” —Wayne Mixdorf, CAPP
Wayne Mixdorf, CAPP has more than 30 years in the parking industry, spanning positions including Meter Technician and Facility Manager at the University of Kansas; On-Street Operations Manager in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Planner for Mongomery County, Maryland Parking Division; Operations Superintendent for the City of Tampa, Florida; and Director of Parking for Baltimore County, Maryland. 

A veteran of the United States Coast Guard, Mixdorf has supported IPMI in so many ways over his career, but none more impressive than his effort to build a professional development program that gives people the opportunity to learn and advance through education. He received his CAPP in 2010 and was one of the original CAPP Certification Board members. Wayne has dedicated his efforts to CAPP certification, making sure that the certification meets the highest possible standards of excellence and making it the most respected certification in our industry. He served on the CAPP Board from 2013 to 2020 and was chair for four years. In addition, he was co-chair of the Professional Recognition Committee for four years as well as serving on the Educational Development Committee. He has presented numerous times at regional conferences and IPMI’s annual conference.

In thanks for his lifetime of commitment to bettering each one of the members of our parking and mobility community through education and service, IPMI is honored to present Wayne Mixdorf with a 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award.
