Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI) members are continuing their good government campaign to end corporate corruption at the Iowa Board of Regents, and there are upcoming events in your area where you can help us make a big difference.
On April 17, fourteen CCI members from Central Iowa made a big impact after we attended a public hearing of the Iowa Regents Transparency Taskforce and demanded more accountability and transparency in regent decision-making. You can read the Des Moines Register coverage here.
Help us continue driving the momentum for real reform at the Board of Regents! The transparency taskforce has set their next three public hearings at locations across the state of Iowa, and we need to turn out in large numbers and continue to press our “put people first” priorities.
