2020 Annual Meeting Information – Postponed due to
COVID-19 Pandemic
SPECIAL NOTICE – 2020 IRA MEETING POSTPONED
We are very sorry to announce the cancellation and
postponement of the 2020 Annual IRA General Meeting. It was scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2020
in Peoria at Bradley University. Due to
Bradley University’s recent policy of moratorium on meetings of 20 persons or
more, this unfortunately affects and includes us here at IRA. We hope to reschedule the annual meeting for
later this year, perhaps in July or August.
We will re-evaluate the situation as it develops in the future and we
will post any relevant news or any new updated meeting dates here on this page
of the IRA website.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
in this very difficult time, we wish the best of life and health to everyone,
especially our IRA family!

are paid in advance the check-in process is quicker and eliminates much of the
delay. As in the past we anticipate the meeting to conclude around 1:00 PM.
An IRA "Membership Information"
form on file listing the delegates (max of two) and signed by the president
and/or trustee and showing paid up dues for 2019 are all that are needed to
