GUIDE TO CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP 2021 – 2022 IPAC Canada – the smart way to advance infection prevention and control best practice every day.
WHAT IS IPAC CANADA? ABOUT US Founded in 1976, IPAC Canada is a national multidisciplinary organization for health professionals and others involved in the prevention and control of infections across the continuum of care and the community at large. IPAC Canada provides its members with timely education opportunities, resources, tools, and publications to inspire, nurture and advance all facets of Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC). The association has 19 chapters across Canada. We work in tandem with our valued Corporate Members to foster mutually beneficial relationships and unique opportunities of the highest ethical standards which align with our 2019 – 2021 Strategic Plan. Our increasingly diverse membership base reinforces the fact that IPAC issues remain at the forefront in both healthcare and industry settings. We represent healthcare providers not only in infection prevention and control, but in varied settings such as pre-hospital and emergency services, laboratories, medical device reprocessing, dental settings, public health and industry. Our Board and our members work closely with many external healthcare-centered stakeholders at the local, provincial, national and federal levels. Each year we host an exceptional National Education Conference, with a full Industry Showcase and Trade Show. Members and non-members alike from all healthcare sectors – and from across the globe – attend this incredible education and networking opportunity. You don’t want to miss it! VISION No preventable infections for Canadians - ever. MISSION We inspire, nurture and advance a culture committed to infection prevention and control. VALUES Integrity – Principled, ethical and respectful in all of our activities Collaboration – Open and inclusive in dealing with our partners and stakeholders Advocacy – Advancement of evidence informed practices to protect our consumers. Innovation – Creative and responsive in meeting the membership’s needs Leadership – Effective and accountable in proactively pursuing our mission. IPAC Canada promotes excellence in the practice of infection prevention and control through the following initiatives: • Initiating and developing effective communication among IPAC professionals • Supporting the development of effective and rational practice • Encouraging standardization and critical evaluation of practice • Advocating for our members at federal/provincial/territorial government tables • Promoting and facilitating education • Promoting consumer awareness within the community
WHAT IS CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP?
Corporate Membership in IPAC Canada is intended to promote education, research and collaboration through
continuous professional development in infection prevention and control and related fields, and to build long lasting,
productive, mutually beneficial partnerships which support Corporate Members and IPAC Canada.
Corporate Members are afforded unique opportunities to build on this foundation - for example, the ability to
participate on our Corporate Relations Committee (CRC). CRC members meet a minimum of two times a year with the
IPAC Canada Physician Director and the Executive Director. Meetings are a forum to discuss issues of mutual concern,
new opportunities mutually beneficial to Corporate Members and IPAC Canada, and of course, networking.
There are four levels of Corporate Membership: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The base membership fee for Bronze
Level Corporate Membership is $5000.00 (CAD$) per annum (renewable each July 1st). Depending on any additional
project or conference sponsorship you contribute to IPAC Canada nationally during the year, you are advanced to a
higher level and are afforded additional benefits. Additions to Corporate Members’ status/level do not include exhibit
fees or chapter involvement.
The ‘Corporate Member’ is the company, not the individual who represents the company. For Corporate Membership,
we ask for the name of an individual who will receive communication to the Corporate Member. Each Corporate
Member may also appoint one individual to receive a complimentary membership in IPAC Canada, including full
membership benefits. The contact person and the member may be the same individual.

numerous benefits, including:
