    Plans for the 2011 joint IURPA / NURPA Conference have been underway
    and the executive board would like to extend an invitation for you to attend
    this event. Once again we have the opportunity to take advantage of the
    Adirondack Region, in New York State, for the upcoming conference.

    The Queensbury Hotel, in Glens Falls, New York, has been well received by attendees at previous conferences. If you have not yet experienced this event it is certainly worth your consideration. Located ten minutes from Lake George Village, the Queensbury serves as a cornerstone for elegance and acts as the "Gateway" to the Adirondack Park Region. The Lake George area is well known for its attractions. A family oriented vacation spot nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George boasts of fresh air and clean water. You can visit Prospect Mountain with its 100-mile views or take a steamboat tour around the Lake. Shop the factory outlet stores or walk the "strip" in downtown Lake George Village. Visit Fort William Henry at the southern end of the Lake or travel to the northern end for a well remembered tour of Fort Ticonderoga. Thirty minutes north is the town of Warrensburg, famous for antiques. Thirty minutes south is Stillwater where the famous Battle of Saratoga took place. The Adirondack Balloon Festival is the largest balloon festival on the east coast and will begin on Friday, September 23rd.

    Whatever you decide, you can't help but experience the beauty of the Adirondacks.

    Room reservations are to be made directly to the Queensbury Hotel at (518) 792-1121.

    ****PLEASE MENTION "NURPA" AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION TO ENSURE ROOM AVAILABILITY****

    Should you wish to spend additional time in the Lake George area, either the weekend before or the weekend after conference the hotel will honor the special room rate of $94.00 per night ($119 suite). There will be no extra room charge for your guest.

    *** In order to provide the hotel the needed information for this

    INTRODUCTION

    We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the International Utilities Revenue Protection Association. This group was founded in 1990 with the intent to bring utility companies together from around the world. Our mission is to identify measures to protect our companies from revenue losses associated with unauthorized use of service.

    Since 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.
