Local Leaders Day
Join the Iowa League of Cities on March 4 as we build bridges and align priorities at the local and state levels to best serve Iowa communities. This is a great chance to connect with lawmakers, learn more about the economic impact of Iowa’s cities, and advocate at the Capitol.
Register early and we’ll work on getting your legislators to join us for the morning coffee or help arrange a meeting in the afternoon.
For help or questions about registration, please email registration@iowaleague.org.
