Exciting news: Des Moines has been selected to host the 2026 Midwest Coaches Development Conference! There are many opportunities to help with committees, and we would love to have our Iowa Chapter showcase Des Moines. Please reach out to Melissa, Erin Lego, or Ann Wright with any questions. As of today, we will be serving as Chairs for the Conference: Erin will be the Registration Chair, and Ann and I will be the Host City Co-Chairs.

Important Update for Iowa Business Owners

IOWA BUSINESS OWNERS: Please be aware of federal reporting requirements that took effect on January 1, 2024 that may require you to report your business entity's beneficial ownership information to the federal government. Learn more about these requirements and review informational materials by visiting the dedicated webpage maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) at www.fincen.gov/boi.

FIND OUT IF YOUR BUSINESS IS IMPACTED: A Small Entity Compliance Guide has been issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to help small businesses understand the reporting requirements and determine if they are required to report their beneficial ownership information.
