About IABC Northeast Ohio
Please note, the chapter is inactive. If you are interested in maintaining a local IABC chapter and wish to assume a volunteer leadership role, please contact Mary Bogan, Heritage Region chair, at mbogan1@woh.rr.com. The Heritage Region and the international office have resources available to help with revitalization should you choose to do so.
The Northeast Ohio chapter treasury is being transferred to the Heritage Region Board, which will hold it in a separate bank account for two years in case the chapter re-activates.
