Idaho Milk Processors Association (IMPA) was founded in 1927 as a non-profit organization designed to promote the Idaho dairy industry. In 2019, the organizational bylaws were re-written to include Utah to make this body regionally focused. The formal mission of the association is three-fold: - To advance the regional dairy industry and to cooperate with all organizations that work for the advancement and development of the dairy industry. - To hold annual conventions for the discussion of subjects relative to the processing of milk and milk products and to act in unison in matters affecting the welfare of all dairy interests. - The Membership of IMPA is composed of such persons, firms or corporations engaged in the processing, distribution or inspection of milk, cheese, ice cream or any other dairy products in Idaho. Associate Members include persons, firms, corporations and institutions engaged in the sale and distribution to Members of supplies, equipment, intellectual property and other related materials. Together, IMPA members and associate members are united in advocating the responsible growth and development of a sustainable regional dairy industry.
