Iowa Leadership Development Institute aims to grow local leaders
A coalition led by the Iowa Association of Independent Colleges and Universities hopes to find and train leaders in towns with populations under 8,500. Centers on six congressional districts will partner with private colleges, the Iowa Department of Economic Development, and utility companies to write local economic action plans and boost community development. Roger McMahon of Des Moines directs the program, backed by grants and private donations.
