What is IEA?

The International Executives Association encourages the establishment of Executives Associations in new cities and countries around the world.  The IEA protects the exclusivity of one “Executives Association” in each city, to insure the high standards of the 80-year Executives Association Movement are incorporated and maintained.

An Executives Association is an elite business networking organization founded for one purpose: to share confidential business leads and information among its Member Firms.

Executives Associations are in many major cities throughout the United States and Canada, as well in Europe and Africa. Since 1916, Executives Associations have spread from city to city, started by business men and women sharing industry news with others, and seeking new ways to get an edge on their own competition.

Today there are more than 100 accredited Executives Associations,  representing more than 5,000 member firms.

In the pursuit of excellence, Executives Associations practice the policy of "one firm per business category." The end result is a worldwide network of owners, top executives and key decision-makers representing the highest standards of products and services as well as professional integrity.
