2022 Legislative Guide
Our Guide to the Iowa Legislature has just about everything you need to know about the Iowa legislative process and the people who are elected to work there!
Welcome to infoNET!
The Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council created infoNET (short for information network) in partnership with Iowans with Disabilities in Action to give you the information, tools, resources and opportunities you need to take action on the issues important to you. Our newsletter and network of resources helps advocates with disabilities stay up-to-date on current issues by:
- Letting you know what the Iowa Legislature & US Congress are up to - and what you can do to influence their decisions.
- Keeping tabs on the Iowa Governor’s office and state agency initiatives
- Suggesting ways to make you more effective in your advocacy and your message powerful and persuasive.
- Connecting you with other advocates using social media, online training, and community conversations.
- Letting you know when there are opportunities to bring your issue to the attention of law makers and opinion leaders.
Get our policy news sent directly to your inbox or mailbox by joining Iowans with Disabilities in Action. There is no cost, and you will receive a free copy of the Guide to the Iowa Legislature. Let’s get started!
About our Network
Your elected officials face very difficult choices everyday, and the decisions they make affect your life. The people representing you from the White House and Congress to your State Capitol and County Courthouse need to know your story, so they can make informed decisions. Now more than ever, it is important for Iowans with disabilities and their family members to take action. That is why the Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council created Iowans with Disabilities in Action and infoNET. Learn more about our work by connecting with us.
