IAMPE ANNOUNCES NEW INLAND PORTS MARINE PORT EXECUTIVE SEMINAR
The IAMPE is pleased to announce the latest in our professional development programs. The new Inland Port Manager (IPM) and Inland Marine Port Manager (IMPE) are equivalent to the current Blue Water programs but with specific information related to the Inland Rivers and Port industry. The program was developed with the support and guidance of the Inland Rivers and Port Association and their Education Committee.
The initial seminar offering will take place October 31st to November 4th at the Lange-Stegmann Company Training Conference Center, 1 Angelica Street, St. Louis, MO.
The program is an immersion style seminar program covering 36 total hours and 22 sessions for the IMPE Certification. For those with time constraints, the program can be taken in two segments, beginning with the IPM (Inland Port Manager) segment and then the second segment taken at another time and location in 2017. Cost for both segments is $1,000 ($2,000 total for the entire week). IRPT members are given a 10% discount on the entire program. Registration is now open. Maximum participants: 20. 2017-2018 programs will be located in different geographic areas in the Mid-West.
