How We Work

Iowa Public Health Association (IPHA) has been the voice for public health in Iowa since 1925. We are led by a committed staff and board and powered by more than 500 public health professionals from across the state.

IPHA is led by an Executive Director who oversees day-to-day operations, supported by a dedicated staff team. The staff manages IPHA’s programs, member services, advocacy initiatives, and communications. Learn more about our current staff and their roles.

IPHA’s Board of Directors provides governance and strategic direction for the organization. The board sets organizational priorities, oversees finances and planning, and ensures IPHA remains responsive to Iowa’s public health community. Board members are elected by IPHA membership and bring diverse expertise across public health practice, academia, local health departments, and community health.

Beyond attending conferences and events, members directly shape our work by participating in one of our active committees. Learn more on our Committees page.
