Regions

What IACEA Region is for you?
The IACEA By-Laws says that the state shall be divided into 5 regions with each region having a Senior Director and a Junior Director.  The Junior Director is elected by members of each individual region and then moves into the Senior Director position the following year.

Other duties include helping promote IACEA at the fall conferences by establishing a table to display membership and all other relevant information, conducting the 50/50 drawings and assisting with the IACEA conference session.  The Regional Directors make contact with IACEA members in their regions at least once a year.

​Divisions

Which IACEA Division is for you?
