Iowa Regional Information
LEAVE A LEGACY^® programs continue to be developed across the state of Iowa. Currently, LEAVE A LEGACY^® Iowa is organized regionally. Each region is assigned a service area defined by a number of counties.

Nonprofit representatives are sought from each county to serve on a regional steering committee, which seeks to guide the public relations, education and marketing efforts for their service area. The regional steering committee represents nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and professional advisors.
