IEC National Committees

IEC Committees meet throughout the year to develop new programs, evaluate existing programs, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors for new policies and services. All contractor members, employees of member companies, and chapter staff are eligible to serve on committees. Participating on a committee is an excellent opportunity to help guide IEC, engage with other IEC members at the national level, and make a difference in the association and industry.
