Membership
Membership is more than a card.
It is a commitment to service — to develop yourself, serve responsibly, respect professional boundaries, and belong to a community devoted to those who serve.
01The Meaning of Membership
It is a commitment to become.
Joining IPPSCC should represent more than receiving an identification card or organizational title. It represents a decision to grow in character, prepare with discipline, serve with compassion — and stand with others who have made the same commitment.
