Our People
We understand that IMWCA is more than a service provider to our members. We also serve as coaches, mentors, colleagues and advocates. IMWCA is here to help members keep employees safe through education and risk management.
To make sure our people are best positioned to serve in those roles, IMWCA contracts for administrative services with the Iowa League of Cities. It’s a logical connection — the League helped create IMWCA and understands the many challenges facing Iowa’s local governments. Meet the League staff dedicated to providing IMWCA services.
