Letter from the President

January 2022

To the Members and Friends of IdeasAmerica, 

It is with heavy hearts and deep regret that it has become necessary for the Board of Directors to close the doors of IdeasAmerica. This was not an easy decision after 79 years of dedication to employee suggestion programs, employee involvement, and employee engagement. 

Over past few years, the loss of U.S. company memberships, reduced number of sponsorships, waning support, and loss of revenue from training and assessments have taken its toll on the organization. The Board of Directors have pursued every alternative available to us during this past year. Finally, with the arrival of COVID 19, the organization was pushed into dissolution which became effective December 31, 2021.

We appreciate all of you who have continued to support IdeasAmerica through the years. We will miss the conferences, networking, and sharing of information with friends and associates. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve this prestigious organization.

Our wish for all of you is success in your future endeavors. 

Sincerely, 

Brenda Kelly 

President, IdeasAmerica
