The East Central Intergovernmental Association is a membership supported organization of local governmental bodies in Cedar, Clinton, Delaware, Dubuque and Jackson Counties. East Central Intergovernmental Association is committed to working with member governments, their citizens, and others to empower communities and enhance the quality of life throughout the region. We assist local governments facing similar problems in cooperating to find solutions. Through ECIA membership, local governments share resources that they could not afford individually. The cooperative effort of neighboring governments also means greater efficiency and quality in solving regional problems.
