- The IPMAAC Board has been working during the past year to ensure a smooth transition as we become independent from IPMA-HR. Based on member input, IPMAAC has changed its name to International Personnel Assessment Council (IPAC). While you may still see an occasional reference to IPMAAC, please note that we have launched the new name and will be using it henceforth. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the IPAC transition, please contact any of the board members or committee chairs. This will impact current members in terms of dues/renewal.
