Independence Empowerment Center

Independence Empowerment Center, Inc. (IEC) is a community-based, non-profit, non-residential service and advocacy organization operated by and for people with disabilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our service area covers Prince William and Fauquier Counties, as well as the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

IEC is a fully registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 1999. IEC promotes disability rights, equal access, and full community participation for persons with disabilities. We work with individuals with disabilities to maintain or take back charge of their own lives and make their own choices and decisions to be as self-sufficient as possible. With our consumers' assistance, we lead efforts to break down barriers and prejudices within our communities.

When these barriers are removed and prejudices are replaced with positive attitudes, persons with disabilities will have equal access to society.

Best wishes to our Dr. Mary Lopez on her retirement!
