The IEHA Board has approved a change to Bylaw 1: Dues and Finances, Section 2. Effective this year, memberships will no longer be set to all automatically expire on December 31st. Instead, each individual membership will expire one year from the date of registration or renewal completion. An email reminder to renew will be sent out prior to your membership expiration date. A copy of the updated IEHA Bylaws is available in the documents folder. The Board is confident this will make the renewal process easier and more efficient. Please contact the office if you have any questions regarding the membership renewal process. Save The Dates2023 Spring Virtual Conference
