Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has a legacy of serving Iowans since 1903. During our 2023 Annual Conference, we will honor the many ways our organization and our people have impacted our state as we acknowledge our 120th anniversary. We also will celebrate our ongoing efforts to meet the needs of all Iowans today and embrace our continuing commitment to serve Iowans in the future. In this year of transition, we will honor our retiring Vice President for Extension and Outreach and welcome a new leader to our team.

During our 2023 Annual Conference, we will:

• Share the history of ISU Extension and Outreach and connect lessons learned from the past to efforts to meet Iowans’ needs moving forward.
• Build connections and potential partnerships across our organization.
• Learn from one another and gain tips and skills that help us to reach Iowans effectively.
• Celebrate being a part of the ISU Extension and Outreach team.

We will achieve these goals as we:

• Honor our colleagues during our annual awards ceremony.
• Participate in workshops presented by colleagues.
• Engage in networking conversations at our group photo and during breaks.
• Hear updates on our organization from ISU Extension and Outreach leadership.
