In-person networking and learning is critical to the vitality of any association. So it is with IPRA.  Our group missed 2020 Conference and 2020 Fall Workshop.  Fall Workshop went virtual with 18 CEU approved educational sessions spread over three one-half days in three months.  Staff learned much of organizing virtual events.  We are proud of VFW sponsors, Boland Recreation, Burbach Aquatics, and Shade Creations by Waterloo.

Global pandemic has hit Iowa hard, especially Woodbury County, home of Sioux City and 2021 Conference.  Vaccine distribution to the general public is being touted to no earlier than late spring or early summer.  Gauging our members opinion of attending 2021 Conference in Sioux City, the IPRA board of directors and conference planning committee along with staff support are now moving forward with transitioning to a virtual Conference (VC).  VC will offer three half-day CEU approved sessions spread over three months.  Mark your calendars now for Thursday, February 25^th, Tuesday, March 30^th, and Wednesday, April 21^st.  Time slot is 8:30 AM to noon.  Each VC is $30 per day.  There will be at least two CEU approved educational sessions per time slot.
