Overview
One important mechanism for strengthening collaboration and synergies among member organizations under IPSI has been its mechanism for the formation and endorsement of Collaborative Activities. These activities involve the participation of two or more member organizations and are subject to endorsement by the IPSI Steering Committee. IPSI Collaborative Activities cover a wide variety of topics and on-the-ground efforts.
