Further Registration and Agenda information will be posted on the IURPA web site (www.iurpa.com) as soon as it becomes available. As of June 7th, 2001, the International Utilities Revenue Protection Association (IURPA) is able to accept Credit Cards for annual dues payment. Dues are currently $50.00 per year. There is an on-line form, which generates an E-mail that is E-mailed directly to IURPA. You can also down load the form in Microsoft Word or Rich Text format, fill it out, and return it as an E-Mail attachment, FAX it, or postal-mail it in. INTRODUCTIONSince then, the organization has grown from a small regional group into an association that includes almost two thousand representatives of over four hundred utility companies worldwide. IURPA is proud to include participation from the United States. Canada, United Kingdom, South America, Guam, France, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the Philippines, China, the Carribean and the Pacific Islands. We are continually working to introduce representation from new areas. Included in the IURPA family is a large number of vendor representatives with vast resources to help combat the growing problems of revenue losses suffered from alternative access to utility products. These vendors have been responsive to the needs expressed by our members. They constantly strive to improve the products and services they deliver. These vendors have committed themselves to the IURPA membership to "identify solutions" and "partner for improvements". The structure of the IURPA group consists of officers and directors who are elected by the Board of Directors. Membership in the organization requires only that an interested member be a utility employee whose principle activity involves recovery and/or the protection of revenues. Each utility may join as many IURPA members as they choose. The cost of membership is Fifty dollars. Each utility designates one member as a voting member to participate in the election of officers which is held annually. Vendors become partners in IURPA as a result of their participation in the annual conference. The vendors support the conference through their provision of the vendor display area and social accompaniments. The vendors select a volunteer to participate on the IURPA conference planning committee. The rep insures that the vendor interest and needs are accommodated. IURPA produces a newsletter that is sent to all members of the international and regional groups. A master mailing list is managed to insure that a maximum number of utilities are reached. The newsletter provides information on current events, news developing around effective revenue protection activities, upcoming regional conferences, and advertisements from vendors who have products available to address the issues of the protection and recovery of utility revenues. In 1995, IURPA embarked on an ambitious undertaking to collect data from utilities around the world regarding their revenue protection programs. A benchmark survey has been published for the participating utilities to use in measuring the effectiveness of their programs with others. The survey contains data from some of the top one hundred fifteen utilities in the world. IURPA is committed to providing these sources of detail that will strengthen the revenue protection programs. The utility industry has become very dynamic. The issue of competition among utilities around the world is a reality. Utilities that were once closely regulated or controlled by the government are now becoming deregulated and privately owned. The added value of protecting against the loss of diminishing profits from unauthorized use of the utility's service is becoming a higher priority. The ability to accomplish this objective with the highest efficiency and cost effectiveness is our goal. IURPA represents a vast resource of remarkable people with valuable information. We congratulate our members and vendors for making IURPA the success it has become and welcome our new members and vendors to participate in the growth and prosperity of the International Utilities Revenue Protection Association.  |
