Dear Partner,As I complete my second year as IPREX Treasurer, I’m pleased to report that the network remains on solid financial footing despite a few headwinds. Partner participation is at an all-time high, from record attendance at webinars to the growing number of cross-regional collaborations. This year we reduced our reserves due to lower-than-expected partner recruitment. However, we have kept our budget on track and continue to balance responsible fiscal management with investments in programs that strengthen our network. I encourage every partner to attend at least one IPREX conference in 2026 per our Rights & Responsibilities agreement. These gatherings remain one of the most valuable ways to learn, connect, and build business. For your emerging leaders, our 2026 Leadership Development Conference will be delivered virtually, allowing more members to participate. We’re building a robust curriculum that will serve as a “mini-MBA” in agency leadership that we know they’ll love.We’ve welcomed new members in South America, Paris, Italy and the U.S., while saying farewell to several partners: U.S. - Ripley, Trefoil, LDWW, Olmstead Williams; India: PRHub; China - Newell PR; UK - Resonates; Canada - Global Public Affairs; Norway - Consilio. As we look to 2026, our staff structure will shift. Both of our Regional Directors have chosen to move on from IPREX. Casper Jenster and Alaina Gjertsen concluded their tenures and we thank them both for their dedicated service and wish them the very best. Recruitment responsibilities will now be shared by the Global Board and IPREX team. Our prospecting pipeline has become much more sophisticated, with new tools, systems, and content, but your referrals remain key.Turning to your annual dues: following our standardised 4% year-over-year adjustment, the 2026 dues for partners will increase by $248, bringing the total to $6,435 USD. You will soon receive your invoice, which is due by January 31, though payment upon receipt is always appreciated.This annual adjustment helps us maintain predictability, ensure responsible financial planning, and sustain the services and programs that make membership valuable. If your firm foresees any difficulty, please contact us to arrange the installment option to eliminate operational strain. Your Global Board, and our IPREX staff continue to work hard to manage our shared resources and position us for a strong 2026 and beyond. As always, please reach out with suggestions.Warm regards,Lindsey DeWitteIPREX TreasurerChief Impact Officer, BarkleyOKRP

The Enhanced Partner Program (EPP) is a strategic initiative created by IPREX agency leaders for agency leaders. Designed for those looking to grow, future-proof, or transform their businesses, this program provides a focused, high-value experience that goes far beyond the traditional networking or conference model.Developed in direct response to partner feedback, the EPP is rooted in what makes IPREX unique: trusted relationships, peer-led insight, and a global community of leaders invested in each other’s success.This is the next evolution of what IPREX can offer our partners, and no other network delivers anything like it.
