In 2007 the Grow Iowa Tour team is expanding. In addition to the IBF, IDED, AIA and YPIowa several new organizations have asked to attend these community learning sessions including the Northern Great Plains Meadowlark Project (a five state and two Canadian province leadership laboratory dialogue) and the Partnership for Drug Free Iowa. As schedules permit members of the Governor’s staff, Iowa Health Systems, Iowa Churches United and the Face it Together Board will also be sitting in to hear from Iowa communities.
