What I.E.H.A. Has Done For Me “I.E.H.A. has helped to advance me in the career I have chosen by giving me the opportunity to network with other colleagues and helping me to attain my C.E.H.” -Betty Souder, C.E.H. Director of Housekeeping and Laundry Church of God Carlisle, PA Now It’s Your Turn! What has I.E.H.A. done for YOU lately? If you would like to contribute to this monthly column, please send your comments to ldigiulio@ieha.org. inside I.E.H.A. On August 5, 2008, Beth Risinger, CEO/Executive Director; Sarah Larsen, Deputy Director; and Laura DiGiulio, EHT Editor, visited the Kaivac headquarters in Hamilton, OH, to discuss Integrated Cleaning and Measurement (ICM) and strategic planning for the cleaning industry.

In May, the Vert Mont Chapter held its 13th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Over 100 golfers joined Chapter members at the picturesque Basin Harbor Club located on beautiful Lake Champlain in Vermont. The Chapter raised over $15,000 this year, donating $8,500 to charity (www.howardcenter.org), bringing the 13 years total donations to over $85,000. In addition, the Chapter has raised over $60,000 for its education fund. The Chapter’s dedicated members and sponsors have made this event successful year after year. The Vert Mont Chapter is 40 members strong with many members and their families participating in the planning and organizing the full day’s events. Members take this opportunity to stay overnight at the Basin Harbor Club to finalize plans, prepare for the days events, and network with other members.
