ACUP to Become Non-profit Organization
Addressing the notion that ACUP will be competing with IPMA, he noted, “I think IPMA’s a great group. Many of them [managers] are going to join both groups.”
ACUP members have discussed incorporation in the past, but because the all-volunteer method had worked so well, the idea never got much traction—until 2009, when the recession halted nearly all university travel and forced ACUP’s cancellation. This was nearly a financial tragedy for the host, who, without a formal organization to back him, faced the creditors alone. The newly incorporated ACUP will carry liability insurance, Tozier says, so hosts and participating universities will not be liable.
