Annual Meetings

Every year 1000 Friends of Iowa hosts an annual meeting in a different city. These meetings are small-scale conferences for our members and others who are interested in 1000 Friends of Iowa. We always hear from local people about land use issues in their community. We host a members meeting where our members elect board members, and other business as stated in our By-Laws.
