Manager, Member Engagement

What You Will Do: Shape Committee Agendas: Partner with committee chairs and IPA subject matter staff to identify timely topics, set priorities, line up speakers, and build agendas that make each meeting worth members’ time. Run Committees Well: Own committee operations end-to-end—scheduling, invitations, materials, meeting support, and follow-up—and capture key takeaways, decisions, and action items so work keeps moving between meetings. Understand Member Engagement: Know how each member organization engages throughout the IPA. Use that understanding to decide what to do next, such as which members to contact, which programs to recommend, or where a firm could get more value from its membership. Lead Outreach to Member Firms: Conduct structured engagement conversations with member organizations to understand their priorities, recommend relevant committees, programs, and events, and expand participation beyond a firm’s primary contacts. Keep Member Information Current: Maintain accurate committee rosters, contacts, and engagement records in IPA’s member management system, partnering with colleagues on ongoing data updates. Measure and Report: Track engagement indicators, share insights with IPA leadership, and align committee and program work with IPA’s broader strategic priorities.
