Board of Directors

IES delivers scientific solutions to improve human health and the environment. Due to ongoing economic, resource, and staffing challenges, the IES Board of Directors has made the decision to place the organization on an indefinite hiatus.

During this period, the Board will continue to meet as needed to fulfill organizational obligations and reflect on past work while exploring future possibilities. IES is grateful for the continued patience and support of its community. 

The IES Board of Directors consists of up to 15 members who are environmental professionals, business leaders, and community members with a wide range of experience and expertise. Many are owners and managers of corporations which provide technical, economic, and policy services. Others are leaders in government organizations. All Board members share an active commitment to the mission and goals of IES, and are dedicated to improving the environment.
