The quality and dependability of the membership, whose skill, capability and integrity have been established in the area, are the reasons why you deal with a greater measure of confidence with a member of the

173 companies.
Giving
Back To The Community: Over the years the focus of the organization has been invigorated and expanded with particular emphasis on filling needs within the community that benefit and relate to members of the Association. The extraordinary way in which so many of our members come together to support our community projects
encourages us to continue the founding traditions of the IEOA.
Because of our Members and their generosity in supporting the community,
these projects were made possible:
Truck
Light Parade in 2010: 7,500 pounds of food, which equates to $18,750.00 of non-perishable food products!!
And Parade crowds were up 40%. Many thanks to our Sponsors,
Participants and Food Drop-Off locations.
