The goal of the monthly newsletter is to keep stakeholders up to date about program changes and deadlines. The newsletter has three main content areas:
Need to Do, which will alert stakeholders to information and requirements for successful program participation, such as upcoming deadlines.
In Other News, which will share other program-related news, such as upcoming industry webinars or conferences.
In the Pipeline, which will provide a longer-term view of upcoming key program dates.
All newsletters are archived in the "Newsletters" section of the IHA website, so you can easily find and share the latest program information.
