Call to Action – Important Deadlines Looming

As we step into the last six months of 2024, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the important meetings and announcements that lie ahead. Principally, the IPWA/US-RSPE Sustainability and Welfare Summit and the upcoming US-RSPE Framework reporting deadline, which will yield our first US-RSPE Sustainability Report. Please read and consider this call to action below.?

IPWA/US-RSPE Sustainability and Welfare Summit?

This is the last day for early bird registration!!

After today the registration cost will slightly increase, but we have made keeping the cost of our conference down a priority due to the importance of meeting together.

We have a registration page for the Summit, and we have a separate link for the hotel. It is VERY important to us that you use and book your room using our hotel link because we are on the hook for room attrition rates for the room block that we have reserved.??

US-RSPE Framework Reporting Deadline?

We have extended the reporting deadline for the US-RSPE Framework Reporting period for 2023 to July 31st. This is a very pivotal year for reporting because we plan to release our first ever US-RSPE Sustainability Report.

I would encourage you to consider reporting even if you feel like you aren’t where you want to be in terms of the number of things you are measuring. It’s important to the organization to have a high level of participation and show more data coming in over time.

Remember – we didn’t design the Framework to have everyone answer every single question when they report into the Framework. We designed it as a starting place to build on over time. You are able to select “decline to answer” on any question without any judgement whatsoever. Only you can see your data. Nobody else can see your data and we as US-RSPE only have access to the aggregate data.??
