2026 Southeast Iowa Days

Description

Each year, more than 100 delegates from Southeast Iowa travel to the State Capitol in Des Moines for a two-day advocacy experience. Participants are provided an opportunity to interact with state lawmakers to discuss regional priorities and advocate for targeted investments that support growth in Southeast Iowa. High school students from the M POWER U program also attend, gaining first-hand exposure to the legislative process. The agenda includes a luncheon with all attendees and evening networking reception with Iowa lawmakers —often featuring top voices from both parties and chambers. It's a unique opportunity to build relationships, elevate our region’s voice, and make a lasting impact on policy decisions.
