Congratulations to the Leadership Iowa 2025-26 Class!

The Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) Foundation proudly celebrates the outstanding individuals graduating from the 44th year of Leadership Iowa. Over the past year, this class has traveled to eight host communities (Indianola, Fort Dodge, Cedar Valley, Des Moines, Muscatine, Decatur County, Perry, Coralville & Iowa City) gaining valuable insights into Iowa’s challenges and triumphs. Their transformative journey began last October, with each month bringing a new session topic and a fresh perspective in a different community.

The 2025-26 Leadership Iowa program was made possible through the generous support of presenting sponsors EMC Insurance and John Deere. Additional annual sponsors include CIPCO, Iowa Soybean Association, Grinnell Mutual, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, Keen Project Solutions, MidAmerican Energy Foundation, Musco, Pella Corporation, and Winnebago.

Leadership Iowa is also grateful for the support of the Leadership Iowa Board of Governors and the 200+ individuals who contributed their time, talents, and expertise to make this year truly remarkable.
