Leadership Iowa leads to many things – a better understanding of the state's issues and opportunities, a first-hand look at unique Iowa communities, a sense of inspiration to make change happen and a renewed pride in the state we call "home." One of the largest benefits of the program, however, is the expansive Leadership Iowa network.
Leadership Iowa is continuing its second year of a program we now refer to as "LI CONNECT." This program is designed to introduce the current class to the power of the Leadership Iowa alumni network from the start of their time in the program. 40 Leadership Iowa Alumni Society members will serve as individual alumni connections to current class members during their Leadership Iowa year (Oct.-June).
Each alumni participant will be asked to make three contacts with his/her assigned class member (though more are certainly welcome!):
- November: To welcome the participant to the class and share experiences
- January: During the alumni dinner (in person, if possible)
- June: To congratulate them on their completion of Leadership Iowa
If interested, please complete the form below. You will be notified after the first week in November regarding your assigned class member. If you are not assigned a member this year, your name will be held for future Leadership Iowa classes.
*Please note: LI CONNECT alumni participants must be current members of the Leadership Iowa Alumni Society. To join the alumni society, please visit
