My gratitude to the voters of North Iowa for supporting their community college. North Iowa Area Community College’s mission is to improve the quality of life for the people of North Iowa. We accomplish this goal through our priorities of quality education, leadership and partnership. Because of your confidence in NIACC, and with the approval of the instructional equipment referendum, we will continue to provide access to education and training, supporting the creation of a skilled workforce while enhancing the economic vitality of North Iowa.

I had the opportunity to visit many of our local communities over the summer talking with service organizations, business leaders, students, and our local media. In those conversations I realize how many lives NIACC has touched in 93 years of service to North Iowa. Our commitment to North Iowa continues to be to provide excellent education and training opportunities, to be accountable to our communities, and serve the residents of our district through progressive partnerships and responsive leadership. We will stay true to that promise. Thank you for the opportunity to share the NIACC story.
