Was a time the IBP was the sole, broad, professional body, had a good name, set examination standards, behavioural standards and was well-respected. They changed structures, made alliances, fought turf war competition from other groups wanting to represent the industry (segments of) and it all disintegrates.
But then, that's life, just like religion when Man steals centre-stage, sets the rules and God takes a hike in disgust.
