Whereas a number of other Directors also opted to step away from the IAPE Board after a number of years of valuable service to the Board and IAPE members, and;

Whereas the 2017-20 edition of the IAPE Board accomplished a number of goals, notably providing information to members about the pursuit of pay equity at Dow Jones, achieving a 2019 contract with larger pay increases than IAPE members have received in a decade, and the elimination of the IAPE membership dues cap;
