IRE Emergency Relief Fund

IRE is establishing a fund to help IRE members who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. The fund, kept in a special account, will help with requests such as those for lodging, transportation, medical assistance, and other basic needs. The IRE Executive Committee in consultation with the Executive Director will disburse the funds. Any proceeds not disbursed in relation to Katrina will be saved and invested in a special fund for future emergencies.
