Iowa State Society Web Links

Last year the Iowa State Society launched a new web site that features an attractive display for the Iowa Congressional delegation. CLICK HERE to see the page. The site is well designed with pictures from Iowa and Washington, DC but needs updates for 2008.  About 35 state societies now have individual web sites and the new Nevada site is expected soon.  Both North Carolina and West Virginia have launched new web sites since the beginning of the year.  Both are well done.  The Illinois State Society has an informative new home page.  To see the web site for your state society, click on your state flag on the navigation bar at the left side of this page.  If your state society has a web site, the link will be there.
