Pay Your Dues
Why join the Iowa Association of County Medical Examiners?
IACME membership is a proven value, which is the reason our membership has steadily increased during the past few years.
Every fall, the IACME holds an extremely successful Fall Meeting and Education Expo. The Education Expo is a premier educational opportunity for Iowa death investigators. Attendance at this conference increases each year.
IACME continues to advocate for death investigators and for quality death investigation in Iowa. The IACME maintains a strong relationship with the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner. IACME board members serve on committees of various state agencies involved with death investigation issues.
Without your support, these and other activities on behalf of Iowa’s death investigators would not be possible.
You can pay your IACME dues conveniently online using a credit card. First, fill out the interactive Membership Application form. Then, go to the “Membership Category” button below the form to pay your dues via credit card. We will send you a confirmation email confirming receipt of your payment.
If you prefer, you can print the 2023 IACME dues statement and mail it, with your check, to Iowa Association of County Medical Examiners, PO Box 274, Boone, IA 50036.
NOTE: Online payment is for individual payments or groups up to ten members. The name on the credit card must match the name of the payer. To avoid confusion, if you are paying someone else’s dues, please let us know whose dues you are paying by typing a message in the Additional Information box. If you have questions, email iacmeservices@gmail.com or phone 515.212.9685.
