IECA has a peer-review process, which means all educational material is ensured to be credible information. With peer-reviewed material, you can be sure that what you read and are taught is first-class, credible information.

"The annual conference is a good place to make contacts and learn new things. I like the hands-on training that I received, because it helps me retain information better. The conference also provided a good chance to learn from people with different backgrounds. I learned new ideas that I can use in teaching erosion and sediment control practices, and I saw technology that I had never seen before."  -  Claire Aubourg, Colorado, USA

Since 1995, my involvement in IECA activities has been pivotal in shaping my second career after retiring from the USDA-NRCS. The technology sessions, networking opportunities, and friendships I've built have been crucial to my success as an erosion and sediment control planner, inspector, and trainer.
