The International Erosion Control Association (IECA) has updated the look and functionality of its web site. New features are aimed at increasing the value of the site for IECA’s 3500 members and the erosion and sediment control community.
Aside from the new graphics and improved navigation, the site introduces IECA’s new content management system. This system allows site visitors to search IECA’s compilation of conference proceedings, News To Use articles, Erosion Control magazine features, and policy papers using a variety of search criteria. The new system also allows information to be stored in multiple languages and file formats.
“Our new content management system is a vast improvement over the previous system which only housed archives of conference proceedings,” said Scott Johnson, information technology manager for IECA. “The new system gives people access to more types of information. And, as an international organization, we are excited to have the ability to offer information in more languages.”
While only members have full access to papers and case studies, non-members can view abstracts and purchase copies of the proceedings from the IECA online bookstore.
The new site is just one way IECA is using web-based technology to reach and educate its members. In the past year, IECA has revamped its members only listserve, started a government relations blog, added an enhanced career center and begun providing online education through ieca.webex.com.
“With members across the country and around the globe the Internet is the most effective way to keep everyone connected,” said Becky Milot-Bradford, association development director. “We plan to continue to improve and expand our online offerings for the erosion and sediment control industry.”
