inside What I.E.H.A. Has Done For Me “When I first joined, I.E.H.A. provided me with basic tools and information to move ahead in the housekeeping field. Now, I utilize my local distributors to be informed on the latest in new equipment and chemicals within the industry. I also like to check out the advertisements within EHT for additional information on new products.” -Jim Myers Director of Environmental Services Plymouth Harbor In celebration of our April “Green” issue and Earth Day, I.E.H.A. is proud to introduce our I.E.H.A. “Green” Mission Statement I.E.H.A., a global membership organization comprised of professional facilities maintenance executives, is committed to being a good steward of the environment and, hence, is a supporter of the “Green” movement. We are proactive in providing education to those directly and indirectly involved in the cleaning industry and encourage a healthier, more productive, sustainable environment that will reduce the many burdens placed upon human health and our natural resources. For many years, I.E.H.A. has shown a dedicated commitment to “Green” cleaning. This is evidenced within the organization’s Mission Statement, which states the following: “We are a professional organization committed to a cleaner, safer, healthier environment.” Through our primary communication vehicles—Executive Housekeeping Today magazine, our Web site, www.ieha.org, and international newsletters and bulletins—we show our commitment to being environmentally responsible. We will strive to continue providing a forum for “Green” initiatives, education, best practices, and information to our members and all involved in the cleaning industry. Now It’s Your Turn!
