MINNEAPOLIS, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) and Recognition Professionals International (RPI) announced the organizations have signed an affiliation agreement.
The affiliation gives both organizations a larger network and scope of education and combines their reach and resources to build a stronger voice for the incentive, reward and recognition industry.

Our alignment will benefit marketers, employee practitioners and solution providers alike," said RPI President, Tonda Ferguson, CRP.
The IMA's mission focuses on advocating for and promoting the use of incentives and recognition to improve business performance. RPI's mission is to enhance organizational performance through employee recognition by providing access to best practice standards, education, research, and the exchange of ideas. Both are important components in amplifying the message that incentive and recognition programs help create positive business cultures and improve business performance.
Together IMA and RPI members provide a valuable resource network for businesses that want to develop successful employee recognition, sales incentive and customer loyalty programs based on research and industry best practices standards.
