UFEA Leadership

UFEA Leadership includes your elected officers, committee chairs, and Association Representatives (Building Reps) elected by members in each building. Your leaders want and need to hear from you. President Lindsey Dickinson, and your IEA UniServ Director Ben Matthews, may be reached at the UFEA Office (located at the IEA Office in Bloomington), by email or by phone. Your Building Rep is your first point of contact – they are listed below by building.
