If bowling is your business, then IBPSIA is for you!
Membership in IBPSIA is available in three categories:

• Regular Membership comprises retail bowling centers, bowling pro shops, and bowling instructors and instructional businesses.
• Associate Membership comprises wholesale companies that provide products and/or services to retailers.
• Affiliate Membership comprises organizations, individuals and companies that provide services to end users, retailers and/or wholesalers. ie: Pro Bowlers, Educators, and former industry members.

• Education
  IBPSIA’s educational programs are designed to raise the professional standards of members by providing a diverse curriculum in technology and business. Besides the IBPSIA Certification Programs in technology and business, the association also provides three days of educational seminars during its annual conference that includes participation in the world's largest trade show, BPAA's Bowl Expo.
  
  
• Certification
  Both the business and the technology segments of the Certification Program will continue to be offered concurrently.  Members may participate in one or both phases. Because each phase is a complete program in itself, members may begin their Certification work with registration for either segment.
