As we look ahead to spring, we are excited for what’s coming. Upcoming events like the MIDWest Conference offer valuable opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow professionally. Make sure to register early and spread the word! In addition, the executive board was proud to launch our new logo last month and received great feedback from our members. We've also announced the Iowa ACAC Opportunity Grant - we consider this a re-investment in our current members.

Spring college fairs have wrapped up - thank you to all of our site hosts! You do an incredible job of organizing these fairs and we appreciate your commitment.

Iowa ACAC Members - We've Got Merch!

Show your Iowa ACAC pride with swag featuring our new logo - two options!

Land's End - This store offers business attire for those who want to show off Iowa ACAC at the office or at more formal events. Please print our logo on black, dark blue, gray, or white apparel - we think it will look best. Not sure if you picked the right color? You can see a preview of the logo in the color you have chosen after you apply the logo to your item to make sure the colors pop.

Bonfire - This store has a wider selection of affordable items beyond apparel. Grab a mug, hat, t-shirt, hoodie, or 1/4 zip for a more relaxed look that you can wear on the golf course or during the annual conference social. A very small portion of sales from Bonfire will be directed back to Iowa ACAC to fund initiatives for our organization.
