Iowa Town Hall Meetings on Digital Services

posted 4/4/2023 in Press Releases

The Department of Management, Office of the Chief Information Officer is excited to announce more than 50 public town hall-style meetings to get feedback from everyday Iowans on digital services, including broadband, in their area. We want to hear from Iowans of all walks of life on how they use the Internet and digital services in general. If you ever felt like the digital world is passing you by, for whatever reason, this is your chance to speak up and help Iowa identify ways to help you and your community.

Attendees will hear a short presentation on digital services followed by a discussion with the audience on the barriers and potential solutions for full participation in the digital aspects of society. All meetings will start at 6 pm and are anticipated to last about 90 minutes. Below is a list of locations in Northeast Iowa.
