2025 Iowa Division of the Izaak Walton League of America - Convention Details
Join Us
It’s March Madness for Iowa girls’ basketball tourney time which means almost always, lousy weather. True to form we have that again this year.
March also means we’re just under two months from the Iowa Division State Convention. This year, the good folks at the Ottumwa Chapter are hosting at their beautiful grounds. If that isn’t enough to peek your involvement how about this? Your National Executive Director, Scott Kovarovics will be the keynote speaker. What a treat and opportunity to hear and ask questions of the League’s public front man. You will be impressed!
So, if you can, make plans to attend. There’ll be a Board meeting and Early Bird reception on Friday, April 25th, the actual Convention including speakers, business, election, auction and Banquet on Saturday, April 26th and finally, a trap shoot on Sunday, April 27th. Quite a full weekend, isn’t it? Come be part.
Dale Braun- President, Iowa Division
