"Navigating the Routes to Public Service: Appointment to Boards & Commissions." Given Iowa's law regarding gender balance on state and local boards and commissions, this workshop focuses on how to position oneself for appointment to a public board or commission, including how to submit your resume, who to contact to follow-up, and tips for improving your chances of selection.
