Who We Are

Leadership Iowa is a premier issues-awareness program promoting leadership within the state. We educate, challenge and inspire our participants to bring out their inherent quality to “point the way.” The ultimate goal is to instill passion in our current and emerging leaders while fostering a high level of civic engagement.

Since its inception in 1982, Leadership Iowa has graduated hundreds of men and women from both the private and public sector. This diverse group of alumni represents every geographical region of the state and virtually all walks of life.

A real “eye-opener,” Leadership Iowa gives its participants a full-spectrum vision of the state. A new perspective on its people, its needs and, most importantly, its opportunities.
