BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE EPISCOPAL CORPORATION


The Board of Directors heads the Corporation that acts as the legal body for the Diocese under the laws of the State of Iowa. The directors are trustees of all diocesan properties and monies. They also are responsible for the Iowa Diocesan Foundation Fund, which is a flexible and convenient investment fund for congregations as well as diocesan endowments and bequests. The directors necessarily are involved in the areas of property and securities. The directors also assist the Bishop in setting mission and ministry priorities, and assessing the work of its various commissions.
