Community Service

2026 Community Service

This year IAEE DC 2026 Chairty of the year will be American Heart Association (AHA) - Greater Washington Region

This year’s chapter community service will offer training and volunteer moments that will keep ourselves and others’ hearts healthy.

We are supporting AHA as an act of remembrance to Terence Donnelly – an esteemed member of our DC Chapter who survived sudden cardiac arrest during the 2018 IAEE Expo! Expo! then faced further health setbacks and later passed away from heart disease.

Info coming soon

I am a member of IAEE, and particularly the DC chapter of IAEE, because it is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I have ever encountered in this Industry. My membership with IAEE has taken me to places that I only dreamed of! Because of IAEE, I have been able to teach CEM classes all over the country and in other parts of the world! The Networking opportunities and the camaraderie of belonging to the DC chapter are HUGE benefits of membership. If I had to prioritize where to spend my “marketing dollars,” my first choice would be with IAEE.

I have been a member of IAEE for over 30 years, starting with the early NAEM days, to IAEM, and now through IAEE. Throughout this journey, the DC chapter has provided me with invaluable networking opportunities and educational experiences thanks to the incredible peers I've encountered. My interactions within and beyond the chapter have significantly contributed to my growth and have played a crucial role in shaping me into the successful professional I am today at Freeman. Freeman has collaborated with the local chapter in various capacities, and we have greatly valued the opportunity to support and work alongside such exceptional leadership. Our shared commitment is to deliver the highest quality service and education to our customers, incorporating the latest trends and data to ensure mutual success.
