The Board shapes the Association’s personality, defines its goals, and charts its future. The board accomplishes this through strong cooperation and awareness of the needs, desires and attitudes of its members. It is the board’s responsibility to do as much as possible to ensure that information flows in both direction between board members and Association members. The Board meets for a retreat in July of each year; meets in October, February and April at the IPA office in Des Moines; and at the annual meeting in June. Trustees serve a term of two (2) years.
