This year's wing conference will be held at the beautiful Iowa State Memorial Union in Ames, Iowa.  Friday evening there will be cadet and senior member hospitality rooms from 6 to 10 pm in the hotel portion of the Union.  Members can take advantage of the recreation center with its bowling alley, pool tables, and video games.  

Saturday will begin with the General Session at 9 am in the Sun Room on the first floor of the Union.  After the General Session a variety of breakout sessions will be offered throughout the morning and afternoon.

Professional development takes center stage for Iowa senior members.

September 14-15, 20 members of Iowa Wing Civil Air Patrol attended SLS and CLC. 1Lt. Brandon L. Hanson directed Squadron Leadership School and Capt. Suzanne Tomlinson directed the Corporate Learning Course. Both directors had the opportunity to work with many experts in their field from a pool of IAWG instructors. The students learnt about uniform wear, CAP-USAF relationship, how wing and squadron finance work, and many other things on how CAP functions. Also many on September 14th learned of the defeat of the Iowa Hawkeyes by Iowa State. Congratulations to the members that graduated from these courses.
