Notes from IBDEA Headquarters
Hello, September! We hope everyone had a great summer and was able to spend some time with family and friends.
Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Maybe it's like our website, online forum, and MembershipWorks project that all happens simultaneously. CJ has been busy putting all the puzzle pieces together because we can't release one without another. We planned to have the new website up by the end of August; however, that didn't happen. I do know that our web designer is SO CLOSE to being finished!!
Speaking of the website, IBDEA Headquarters will announce its release (hopefully) in a couple of weeks. Once the update is released, ALL members will be receiving a Welcome! Email from MembershipWorks with instructions on how to login into the "new" website along with a temporary password. Make sure you have info@ibdea.org as a trusted email so you don't miss your login instructions.
Conference 2022 - IBDEA's Golden Anniversary Celebration planning is well underway. Topics and presenters for the three Workshops are coming together nicely. The Keynote Speakers will be announced later this month. We are gonna party like it's 1971... no scratch that.. like it's 2021!!
Longtime member, Andy Pincus of Carbonator Rental, will host a Virtual Open Forum. IBDEA Members, check your emails for registration details. If you didn't receive one, email info@ibdea.org.
IBDEA's Carbonation 101 School is back and on the East Coast this November in Harrisburg, PA. Word on the street is that there will be a West Coast class next Spring. Woot Woot!!

“The IBDEA is one of the core associations that CO2Meter belongs to because of the vast industry knowledge and experience we gain from our membership. While we certainly have gained several key partners through our IBDEA membership, we have also been able to share our experience through educational opportunities and have taken home valuable technical and experiential information that has helped us refine our marketing and design better products for IBDEA members and beyond.”
– Joshua Pringle, VP of Business Development at CO2Meter

In August, we asked our readers if their company had a formal Green Policy. Our poll results show that the majority of our readers do not have a plan in place.
How can IBDEA help you become more Green?

Does your company have an annual budget for employee training?
