Delaware County Extension Council Chair Meets with Legislators

Delaware County Extension Council Chair Roger Helmrichs met with Iowa legislators at the Iowa Extension Council Association legislative breakfast held at Capitol Building in Des Moines earlier this month. 

Helmrichs joined other county extension council members and supporters from across the state to show the impact ISU Extension and Outreach makes in Iowa communities. Extension council members shared an impact report for each county in the legislator’s district, as well as ISU Extension and Outreach’s 2024 Statewide Impact Report. 

The Iowa Extension Council Association represents 900 elected extension council members across the state. At the local level, county extension councils function as the legal body and are the local partners with Iowa State University (Extension and Outreach) and the USDA. They identify needs in their local communities and help meet those needs with Extension programming to create impact.
