The IASB Delegate Assembly convenes annually for three important roles:

IASB bylaws give each member board a delegate who casts the district's votes on issues before the Delegate Assembly. School board members provide input on IASB’s legislative platform and your priorities help influence legislators and the governor. By participating in this debate process, school, AEA and community college boards contribute to IASB’s legislative program and ultimately the unified legislative interests of all Iowa school boards. At your next board meeting, please appoint a delegate and an alternate delegate. This ensures that if the primary delegate is unable to attend, the alternate can take their place. Remember, the delegate must be a board member. 

Note for Registering for Afternoon Events: Delegates interested in attending an afternoon IASB pre-Convention workshop are advised to pre-register for the event to guarantee a seat. If the Delegate Assembly deliberation extends after lunch, you will not be invoiced for afternoon workshop registration fees. 

Fee and Lunch: There is no cost to attend the Delegate Assembly. Lunch for your delegate is also free. 

Email: We encourage members to review and discuss the platform which arrived in their inbox on Monday, Sept. 23 during their October or early November meetings, ensuring their delegate is prepared to vote according to their board's position.
