Iowa leads in volunteer retention and ranks second for overall volunteer rate as nearly 38 percent of residents volunteer. Volunteer numbers grew from 718,804 in 1989 to 967,509 in 2009, says Adam Lounsbury of Volunteer Iowa.
Report highlights 886,900 volunteers contributing 37.9 percent of 93.4 million hours totaling 39.9 hours per resident. Valued at $2 billion in service across the nation.
The Gazette reports gender diversity remains limited in federal courts. While women have joined law schools since the 1980s, 328 sit on the federal bench to 442 men. Iowa has no female justices on the Supreme Court or in its Southern District, and only one in the Northern. The 8th Circuit has one woman overall. Celeste Bremer notes recommendations overlook gender balance.
The history tracks gender composition of the Iowa Supreme Court from 1838 to present, noting when women first served, voting patterns on major cases, and shifts in representation across eras. It highlights key female justices, milestones in accessibility, and evolving public understanding of gender diversity in Iowa's highest court.
Iowa lawmakers expect preliminary recommendations next week on redesigning the county based mental health system. DHS officials have held community meetings and formed five working groups to report initial findings by Oct. 31 and a comprehensive report by mid December.
