IEM Statement on Rep. Jenniffer González Colón Fundraiser

Guaynabo, PR, August 21, 2024 – IEM International, Inc. (IEM) wishes to clarify that it is not hosting the upcoming fundraiser for gubernatorial candidate Jenniffer González Colón. The event is organized by long-term friends of the Representative, Ms. Pamela Patenaude and her husband, along with a group of affordable housing experts. Ms. Patenaude consults for various firms and serves on several corporate boards. She is not an IEM employee and is participating in this event in her personal capacity.

On August 20, 2024, inaccurate reports surfaced regarding IEM’s involvement in the fundraiser. We want to emphasize that IEM is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan firm dedicated to building a safe, secure, and resilient world. We strictly adhere to all federal anti-lobbying rules and regulations.
