What is an intermediate organization?
An intermediate organization (IO) is a regional grouping of locals working together on issues of common interest. Education Minnesota’s IOs cover the entire state. Each IO has a unique voice, reflective of the geography, size and history of its locals. IOs promote strong, effective locals. They foster solidarity among locals, and they provide support systems that allow members to develop at the local, regional and state levels. The IO philosophy is driven by the belief that locals will achieve their objectives most effectively by acting in unison with other locals. Each IO has its own leadership structure, bylaws and dues system.
