About the committee

IBPA’s Advocacy Committee is a standing committee tasked with identifying, prioritizing, and developing strategies to address issues of concern to independent publishers.

Read the committee charter.

The objectives of the Advocacy Committee are to:

• identify and prioritize issues of concern to independent publishers.
• establish campaigns and take actions to address these concerns.
• ensure that IBPA members are informed of these concerns, and the steps taken to address them.

Have an advocacy issue you'd like to share with the committee? Send it via email to ibpa_advocacy@ibpa-online.org.

This is a member-focused committee. It is open to at-large members of IBPA.
