New Educational Tracks by the IECA



The International Erosion Control Association (IECA) condenses its educational tracks by replacing the eight technology sections with four new primary topics of interest in an effort to better serve the needs of members. An explanation of the four new tracks: Erosion & Sediment Control, Stormwater Management, MS4 Management and Surface Water Restoration can be found below.

Jerry Sanders, Professional Development Committee Chair says, ''The Educational Track system will help our membership and visitors to easily identify their desired area of specialization, while also providing a broad range of educational opportunities. These opportunities are not only provided to those who want to increase their knowledge and expertise, it also creates a larger platform for individuals to share their knowledge and experience with others.''
