WELCOME to the IECA NORTHEAST CHAPTER ("NEC") Web Site
The Northeast Chapter of the IECA, Inc., was chartered in 1994 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving New York and the six New England states. The NEC’s MISSION is to CONNECT, EDUCATE and SUPPORT the erosion control and stormwater management community. We focus on promoting regionally-appropriate practices, offering specialized training at the local level, and providing a network for scientists, designers, regulators, contractors, suppliers and all other segments of the industry to share information.
I encourage you to visit this website often. Melba Jensen, the NEC's new part time administrator, is giving it a long-overdue facelift - check out the new Calendar page and let her know what you think. I invite you to submit news items, event information, case studies, etc., to necieca@melbajensen.com to be posted on this website or/and to appear in a newsletter. Anything from a simple link to a complete article is welcome.
This is an organization of volunteers. Opportunities to participate abound, as simple as sending us a cool weblink or as serious as providing training to fellow members. An easy first step is to ring in to one of our toll-free Quarterly Conference Calls; a draft agenda for the June call and other information is posted on the Calendar page.
I invite members and friends of the NEC to contact me at info@ieca-nechapter.org if you have any questions or comments.
Christine A. Odiaga, CPESC #2203
IECA Northeast Chapter President

Partners for Excellence
IECA's Chapter Awards Program
2006 is the first year that the NEC scored at least 600 points in each category - our total score was up 30% and we were awarded an Honorable Mention!! The NEC was recognized at the awards ceremony at IECA's Environmental Connection 2007 in Reno; part of the prize was a free one-day pass to next year's EC in Orlando. The Board is considering options such as offering the pass as a door prize at our own annual event, awarding it to an outstanding volunteer, or raffling it away to raise funds for a scholarship program.

"P4E" is essentially
a How-To guide
for developing
& maintaining
a successful,
effective chapter.
|
| One of the first items on the "P4E" submittal list is an Annual Chapter Report. It sort-of wrote itself as the Board of Directors discussed the rest of the submittal items, short term goals, etc.
