Vision Iowa - The Board
Each Vision Iowa Board member is appointed by the Governor based on experience or expertise
in the field of tourism development and promotions, public financing, architecture,
engineering, major facility development or construction.
The Vision Iowa Board is charged with ensuring that projects will improve the quality
of life or quality of attraction in the community. The Board reviews the project’s
ability to generate recreational, cultural or tourism opportunities, create an economic
impact, and use planning principles such as efficient land use and existing infrastructure.
All members, except for the Auditor of the State, the Treasurer of the State, and
the Director of the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED), serve as volunteers
on the Board.
The State is in debt to the current and former Vision Iowa Board members for their
service to Iowa:
