What is the IEP Associate Board?
ABOUT THE ASSOCIATE BOARD
Let’s go back January 2023…
"From the moment we met the IEP team and got a chance to see what they had built, we were deeply inspired by their impact.
Their work left a lasting impression on us, particularly the impressive level of intentionality. We saw:
Beautifully designed and comprehensive pillars that work together to tackle the community’s core problems, not just the symptoms
Their focus on bolstering women and children through education, healthcare and community
Their commitment to deeply understanding the community they serve by co-creating necessary and curated solutions
We knew we wanted to be part of this team in some way."
- Ashley & Monica
We were inspired…
…and we think you might be too
