Editor’s Note

As we get ready for July’s #IPMI2022 Parking & Mobility Conference & Expo, we launch this issue of Parking & Mobility magazine with a clear focus on professional development, and the impacts on both the individual and their organizations. Professional development comes in many forms; whether is it honing your technical expertise, sharpening your customer service approach, or polishing your soft skills, today’s organizations demand more from their employees because their customers expect more from them than ever before. 

That is why active membership in IPMI is more important now than it has ever been. Staying current on the challenges and best practices of the parking and mobility industry, hearing stories from the frontline about what is going right—and wrong—in our world and having access to ongoing training from best-of-class instructors are just a few of the benefits you get from being in our IPMI community.

As someone still new to your neighborhood, I am astounded daily how much I learn, and how much I still need to know.

For those of you who I will see in New Orleans, please come up and say hello! I want to meet you, learn what you do, and see how I can tell your story to help all our members learn something valuable. Not going to NOLA? That’s ok, we got you. Stay tuned to upcoming editions of the IPMI Leader newsletter as well as the IPMI Blog where we will feature some great summaries of many of the programs in the weeks and months to follow Conference & Expo.  

As always, thanks for spending some time with us. We hope this issue inspires you find ways to learn new things. Have ideas for articles you want to see in Parking & Mobility to get you motivated to learn? Give me a shout, I am here at your service. And on behalf of the entire IPMI team, we hope to see you in the Big Easy!
