International Natural Zeolite Association The International Natural Zeolite Association (INZA) was officially organized in 2005 from the former International Committee on Natural Zeolites (ICNZ). The ICNZ was created as an ad hoc organization at Zeolite '76, the International Conference on the Occurrence, Properties, and Utilization of Natural Zeolites, held in Tucson, Arizona, June 6-14, 1976. Its stated purpose was and still is to promote and encourage the growing interest in natural zeolite materials throughout the scientific and technical community. In its twenty-eight-year history, ICNZ served as a focal point of worldwide interest in natural zeolites and has been instrumental in the organization of conferences, field trips, symposia, and special sessions at national and international meetings on the subject of natural zeolites. INZA collects no dues; its treasury comes from publication sales, private donations, and funds remaining from conference activities. Membership in INZA is open to any person interested in any aspect of natural zeolites.
