Benefits to organization members include the opportunity to interact with a wide range of environmental groups and individuals and work together to strengthen environmental protection and enhancement in Iowa. Members receive Council communications such as Iowa Environment Quarterly, Legislative Action, News Bulletin, Action Alerts, Organization Directory, and Council factsheets and position papers. Each member organization is entitled to appoint one of its members to serve on the IEC Board of Directors. Member organizations may also use the monthly IEC News Bulletin to alert others of environmental news and information. All members are listed in the IEC Member Organization Directory, complete with information on their contacts, goals, and programs.
Organizations renew their membership annually.
The Executive Committee will make a recommendation to the IEC Board of Directors, which approves member organization applications. Before applying for an organization membership, you may request a packet of materials from IEC to share with others in your organization.
