We anticipate this list will change over time as WHMA members use and have suggestions for modifications.  We have had meetings with multiple WHMA members already and would like to try expanding this to a larger audience.  Inventory on the list so far is small and will grow as members use it.  We know that this is a challenging time to find inventory.  We hope that this system will help WHMA members achieve their goals.  Questions or suggestions for improvement can be sent to David Bergman at davidbergman@ipc.org
