Overview

The purpose of the IECA Partners for Excellence Program is to recognize and reward IECA chapters that have taken the initiative to better serve not only the members of their chapters but also the public in general. Innovation, chapter involvement, measurable results and application are key criteria. We are looking for both process improvements and best practice or model programs to award and recognize. Read through these best practice programs and apply them at your chapter. Awards are presented at the 2025 IECA Annual Conference and Expo.
