Moving Illinois forward: Real world solutions for a broken economy.

Join us October 8 for the IEA Economic Summit live streaming event.  Guest speakers will discuss the economic climate and challenges on a national to local level.  Discussion also includes the return on your education investment and quality in job growth.

The event is for any interested party including IEA members, staff and the general public.  We have groups from many different public entities participating (many are human services type groups).

There is no cost to view the event.  The entire day will be streamed live on the internet except for the breaks and lunch.  Visit the IEA website to find out more and get the link to the event: http://www.ieanea.org/featured/economic-summit/

Help Others Register to Vote: September 9 at 4:30

vote_buttonIt’s important that as crucial elections come up this Fall (especially for Governor and statewide races) and this Spring (school board elections) our members are registered to vote.

On September 9 at 4:30 the County Clerk’s office will be training our members to be voter registrars.  Those who complete the training will be able to get others (your colleagues, friends and neighbors) registered to vote.

If you’re interested and willing,  please RSVP to the IEA Office (309-663-6400 or karen.hancock@ieanea.org) by Monday, August 30 so we can let the County Clerk know how many to plan for and we can arrange for food as well.
