Do you know a leader who has been visionary in helping shape economic development in Iowa?
As part of BPC’s Envision Iowa initiative, we are currently accepting nominations for the newly created Envision Iowa Visionary Leadership Awards.
These awards will recognize leaders from across the state who have shown commitment and vision toward the economic development of the state by way of innovation and collaboration in the areas of people/culture, business opportunities and infrastructure.
Our goal is to elevate and highlight the people and organizations creating the ideas and providing the vision for Iowa to grow its economy, now and into the future.
The selected winners will be recognized in the Business Record and serve as panelists at our Envision Iowa event on Oct. 22.
Please submit your nomination by Sept. 5.

People/Culture: Leaders, organizations or municipalities that have advanced Iowa’s economy through innovation and collaboration around the topic of people and culture (recruitment, retention, placemaking, culture, inclusion).
