Each year, more than 100 delegates from Southeast Iowa travel to the State Capitol in Des Moines for a two-day advocacy experience. Participants are provided an opportunity to interact with state lawmakers to discuss regional priorities and advocate for targeted investments that support growth. The agenda includes a luncheon with all attendees and evening networking reception with Iowa lawmakers —often featuring top voices from both parties and chambers. It’s a unique opportunity to build relationships, elevate our region’s voice, and make a lasting impact on policy decisions. Stay tuned to KILJ Radio News for Kadie’s reports.
