Rocky Mountain Chapter
Our Blog
Welcome to Our Blog Page
The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the IAEI welcomes you to our new monthly blog titled “Did You Know“.
Join us each month for a new topic of discussion. These blogs are meant to stimulate our thinking and perhaps introduce us to new sections of the code we are not familiar with. All articles will be archived on this website.
