IBPA’s Member Benefits Committee is a standing committee tasked with developing a portfolio of membership benefits that are attractive to independent publishers and self-published authors. The Member Benefits Committee, with assistance from an online Member Benefits Jury made up of at-large IBPA members, reviews existing benefits and recommends new or revised benefits. The Member Benefits Committee also recommends the disbanding of benefits when necessary.

• Keith Garton, President & Publisher, Red Chair Press
