Mission Statement

IECA’s mission is to promote the professionalism of its members by providing continuing education and a forum for the exchange of ideas relevant to credit and financial management of the energy industry.

The conference offers plenty of meaningful credit-related learning and perhaps equally importantly, a chance to interact with current clients and other energy credit professionals in a relaxed, fun environment.”
