Thank you to these incredible Iowa communities for graciously hosting the program this year: Winterset, Carroll County, Fairfield, Des Moines, Dubuque, Grinnell, Forest City, and the Quad Cities. In addition, Leadership Iowa extends its sincerest appreciation to more than 40 session sponsors, the Leadership Iowa Board of Governors, and 175+ individuals who lent their time, talents, and expertise to help create another special Leadership Iowa year.
