Board of Governors

Leadership Iowa is piloted each year by a dedicated group of program alumni from across the state. The Leadership Iowa Board of Governors puts forth their time and effort to maintain the sustainability and growth of the program, as well as its ability to engage participants, alumni and supporters with meaningful programming and opportunities.
