The International energy credit association partners with Association headquarters, inc as our new service provider

I am pleased to communicate to our IECA members and sponsors some exciting news that will take our Association to the next level. At the Spring Board meeting, the IECA Board of Directors initiated a Service Provider selection process. A selection committee was created and charged to identify key attributes in a Service Provider that we felt were pinnacle to the Association's success and growth; we then solicited proposals from various Service Providers. After a detailed screening and research process we finally came to a decision to select Association Headquarters, Inc., to manage our organization and build upon the firm foundation that the previous staff had made under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Association Headquarters, Inc. (AH), an association management company with more than 30 years of experience and considered the fifth largest management company in the United States with a staff of more than 130 employees, but their philosophy has always remained rooted in a small company approach. Representing not only a diverse array of industries, but also a wide range of organizational sizes, they strive to cultivate each group so they can make a dynamic impact on their industry and profession. Its client partners range from large to small organizations, each contributing to their culture and approach to a partnership management equally.

Through this new partnership AH will provide the IECA with a full range of management services, including: executive and administrative support, financial management, marketing, communications, and membership services. In addition, AH will bring its extensive experience in the areas of executive and strategic management to support IECA's strategic initiatives.

You can expect business as usual during this transition and our new headquarter information has been provided in this email and available on our website. I am confident you will find the staff at AH knowledgeable and professional to meet your association needs.

Effective November 1, 2009, the IECA headquarters will be moving to a new location and the new contact information will be:

International Energy Credit Association

15000 Commerce Parkway, Suite C

Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054 USA

Phone: (856) 380-6854

Fax: (856) 439-0525

Website: www.ieca.net

In closing, I want you to know the Board approached this opportunity with the upmost respect and professionalism towards our current Service Provider. The Board believed that to ensure the growth and success of the Association the need to transition to a larger firm would be necessary.

Should you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
