About the Board

The 35 member board of directors is made up of former governors and athletic and corporate leaders from all parts of the state.
 
The leadership of the board has allowed the Iowa Sports Foundation to grow significantly since its inception in 1986.  What started as a annual multi-sport festival on one weekend in July has expanded to year-round competitions, health initiatives and programs.  Today, over 190,000 Iowans participate in Iowa Sports Foundation events.
