Since becoming a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in January 2016, the Iowa Stormwater Education Partnership has been governed by a Board of Directors comprised of stormwater management professionals from member cities and universities across Iowa. Our board members bring expertise in engineering, municipal administration, and environmental science to guide ISWEP’s strategic direction, oversee educational programs and fiscal operations, and support the Executive Director in delivering high-quality stormwater education and training throughout Iowa.
