The Institute of Public Affairs

The Institute of Public Affairs has been a resource organization to Iowa's local governments since 1949. As an outreach service of the University of Iowa, the Institute provides organizational improvement programs for local government elected officials and staff, including:

• Strategic Planning and Goal Setting
• Educational Programs and Information
• Professional Development
• Public Management Assistance
• Information and Publications

The Iowa Municipal Management Institute (IMMI), a joint effort between the IPA and the Iowa City/County Management Associations, and co-sponsored by the Iowa League of Cities, is an annual professional development program for city/county managers and administrators. The program provides Iowa's city/county managers and administrators a unique opportunity to participate in a national level management development experience without traveling outside the state. The IMMI has a proven track record for nearly two decades and provides a broad spectrum of personal and professional development sessions as well as practical "nuts and bolts" programs which promises a uniquely rewarding experience.
