Iowa State Association of Counties
2010
Spring School of Instruction
March 24-25, 2010
Des Moines Marriott Downtown and Renaissance Savery
Des Moines, Iowa
What is the Spring School of Instruction?
This annual meeting held in March is the Association’s business
meeting, where the ISAC budget is approved by the membership and the
ISAC Scholarship award winners are recognized.
Who attends the Spring School of Instruction?
The conference is open to county officials from all departments,
which are known as affiliates. This includes county assessors,
attorneys, auditors, conservation directors, emergency management
directors, engineers, environmental health specialists, information
technology directors, public health, recorders, community
services directors, sheriffs, supervisors, treasurers, and zoning
officials. There will be approximately 800 county officials
attending the conference.
Why should your company be involved?
ISAC members make or are heavily involved in most of the purchase
decisions and contracts counties enter into with private sector
businesses. Because ISAC is a focal point for county government
officials, there are tremendous opportunities for private sector
businesses to promote their services to 800 key decision makers in
Iowa’s county governments.
Attend this conference and talk with the specialty target audience
for your company’s marketing efforts - county officials in Iowa.
This is one of our largest events of the year and we want you to be
a part of it! ISAC offers you a few ways to be involved: 1)
be a conference event sponsor; 2) advertise in the conference
program; and 3) attend the conference in person.
Where will the conference be held?
ISAC will again use conference facilities at the
Des Moines Marriott Downtown. Conference registration, educational
seminars, general session, and some sponsored events will be held at the Marriott. The Renaissance Savery will
be used for additional meeting space for the affiliates and for the
ISAC dance. Additional hotel rooms are reserved at the
Embassy Suites and Holiday Inn Downtown.
