When your company aligns with the League through the Partner Program or Associate Program, you receive discounts on advertising, exhibiting, event registration and much more.

Partner Program – $5,775

In addition to the benefits provided at the Associate Program level, the Partner Program gives more ways to interact with city officials. From webinar sponsorship to the Annual Conference & Exhibit this program will position your company closely with cities in Iowa. Maximum of 24.
