Matt Vaadi urges independent payroll professionals to join the IPPA, sharing how the 2019 Spring Summit turned LinkedIn connections into real friendships and a supportive network where members openly share knowledge instead of competing.
So first of all, if you're listening to this and you're not a member of the IPPA, then you should be. Because if you're interested enough in this space to listen to the Payroll In podcast where all we're talking about is the payroll industry and growing independent payroll bureaus, then you should be a member. Like, it's that simple because you're trying to improve yourself. You're trying to improve your bureau. That's the whole point. I'll never forget. I've told this story 78 times on the podcast, but you know, the first time I went to the The Spring Summit was in 2019. And, you know, I met up with people that I connected with ahead of time that I reached out to on LinkedIn. They were fast friends. They introduced me to other people. Everybody is an open book, man. Like, it is not— there's no concern about competition there. It's all about collaboration.
