How do I get access to the BPI Member Hub?

The BPI Member Hub is where you will find all of BPI’s committee documents, an industry events calendar, the Bill Tracker, and more. You can navigate to the Member Hub from this page.
Foundation Members have been given access so will be able to log in. If you're having trouble with access please reach out to membership@bpiworld.org.
How do I join the BPI Board of Directors and what is the commitment?
BPI holds elections for its Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of every calendar year, with nomination forms sent in advance. Terms are three years and start January 1. Foundation Members are eligible (one spot per election cycle is held for a Composter / Municipality). The Board meets monthly, with the majority of meetings via conference call for 1.5 hours, along with 2-3 in-person meetings (typically these are a half day). The first meeting of the year is at the US Composting Council’s annual conference in January. Each BPI Member company receives a single vote in the election.
