Serving on the Board of Directors
The Iowa Association of School Boards® is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors, which includes officers and regional directors from nine Director Districts and representatives from Iowa's Area Education Agencies and Community Colleges. Directors serve three-year terms. The IASB President-elect is elected by the Delegate Assembly for a two-year term.
