Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Idaho Public Employees Association (IPEA) was founded in 1959 as the Idaho State Employees Association (ISEA) to advocate for state employees on labor related issues. They changed their name to IPEA in 1974. As a nonprofit member-driven organization representing active and retired members from every department in state government in the State of Idaho, the IPEA advocated for members' rights. They took on issues of workers pay, benefits and rights, as well as the benefits and rights of retired public employees. The IPEA was dissolved in 2020.

Arrangement
There was no discernable original order to materials. There were no folder titles, so those listed were created. All the binders were titled "Idaho Public Employees Assocation" and then listed the years. Materials were removed from binders and placed into acid free folders, but nothing was removed or rearranged.
Acquisition Information
Materials were donated by Judi Lyons in 1986 (MA 1986-27). More materials were donated by Richard J. Beck in 1988 and 1989 (MA 1988-10 and MA 1989-11).
