Welcome to the website for the Indiana Environmental Health
Association!! Our Association is an active and lively association
dedicated to the promotion of Environmental Health. This is accomplished
partially through our Committees and Chapters. Our 4 standing Committees
include participating IEHA members, interested parties and Chapter
representatives. They meet quarterly or more often, and address four main
areas:
- Wastewater,
- Food
Protection
- General
Environmental
- Terrorism
and All Hazards Preparedness
There are other IEHA committees; the COPED committee that
provides scholarships, the Membership Committee, the Website Committee, the
Awards committee, the Finance Committee, the Publications Committee, the
Nominations Committee, and the Program Committee. All are actively involved and
bring relevant information to the membership and perform association processes
for the IEHA.
The IEHA also has 8 different Chapters, located in
regions throughout Indiana, (see our Chapter map on this page) that hold
regular meetings, and offer speakers and tours on occasion. One of the
most valued parts of the Chapter events is the opportunity for networking with
peers. The Chapter events offer a way to get advice, commiserate and find
support in dealing with issues encountered in the field. You can find
notice of various Chapter meetings on our website calendar on this page.
The diversity and scope of the subject matter addressed
under each of these Committees and Chapters reflects some of the numerous
challenges we face in environmental public health regulations that protect
human health in our State of Indiana.
Please consider IEHA membership – or at least attend one of
our conferences. The fall conference is a three-day event, September 25th-27th
in Muncie this year, with general sessions and afternoon breakout
speakers. The conference offers up-to-date information, resources and
education. There are many changes going on in Indiana this year with some
major legislation passed that will be addressed in several sessions at this
conference. Please see the link on this page for registration
information and there is also a membership link- “Join IEHA” here also.
I’m happy to provide more IEHA information on any of these
topics, so feel free to contact me at bcenvironmental@browncounty-in.us
