Iowa Leaders in Education and Advocacy (I-LEAD) is the banking industry’s super PAC. Created by the Iowa Bankers Association, its purpose is to raise funds through corporate contributions to educate the public about banks and banking industry issues. A better-educated electorate produces better outcomes when advocating for positive change.
Why it is important
It helps decision-makers understand industry issues and paves the way for impactful advocacy efforts.
For more information about how your bank can help support I-LEAD, download the I-LEAD brochure or email Makayla Gallentine, Advocacy & Policy Coordinator, or call (515) 286-2996 today!
