Hi Cait,

First of all, thank you for joining IEA. We have over 200 members and are growing fast. 

You are right that our volunteer membership chair has probably not been at her computer this holiday week. For you and others who are not able to access the information on the IEA website at the moment in spite of your new memberships, I am pasting it below.

I would also be happy to be the liasion for IEA during this holiday season if you or anyone else has questions.
