Leadership Iowa, Iowa's premier issues-awareness program offered by the Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) Foundation, has announced the participants and community hosts for its 2023-24 program.
The program will bring together 40 leaders from across the state for a series of two-day monthly sessions beginning in October and concluding in June. Each session will allow participants to delve into an important topic as it relates to our state by way of discussions with subject-matter experts, interactive experiences, industry tours and more.
The 2023-24 class will travel to communities throughout Iowa for the following sessions:
• Winterset – Opening Retreat (October)
• Carroll County – Agriculture and Renewable Resources (November)
• Fairfield – Manufacturing (December)
• Des Moines – Government (January)
• Dubuque – Healthcare (March)
• Grinnell – Education (April)
• Forest City – Workforce & Economic Development (May)
The class will graduate at ABI’s annual conference next June in the Quad Cities.
The 2023-24 Leadership Iowa program is supported this year by presenting sponsors EMC Insurance and Grinnell Mutual. Additional sponsors of this year’s program include: CIPCO, Community State Bank, Emerson, the Iowa Soybean Association, Farm Bureau Federation, MidAmerican Energy Company, Neumann, Pella Corporation, and Winger Companies.
Leadership Iowa is a valuable resource for Iowa leaders who are looking to make a difference in their communities and across the state. The program provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to be effective leaders.
