How does IEDC differ from IETC?
IEDC is modeled on IETC, so the basic mission is the same: networking and learning from one another. We appreciate the chance to meet bi-annually with our Tarrant County colleagues!

IEDC doesn’t yet have a Day in the District, but plans are underway
IEDC’s meeting times factor in happy hour….
