Winding Down March, Iowan of the Day Program is Underway

March has flown by and so has my first month here at the Blue Ribbon Foundation.

Yesterday I was able to attend my first Corndog Kickoff Meeting at the Blue Ribbon Foundation. I was overly excited to hear about upcoming plans for the event and meet more people who work so hard to make the Kickoff so great. After hearing about all the package ideas, I went home with my head spinning with possible new and creative ideas. I can’t wait to see the outcome when the kickoff is held July 14.

One of my main projects this summer is the Iowan of the Day Program. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I am already anxious to start reading nominations in search for ten Iowans to shine as stars of the day during the fair.

So far, I have been thinking up theme ideas and planning out the media kits that will be sent to media around the state soon!

I hope this post gets your mind running about whom you want to nominate for the Iowan of the Day and how you want to highlight them. You can download a nomination form here. Start to look out for forms at your local post office or call the Blue Ribbon Foundation at 1-800-450-3732. Don’t forget the nominees must currently reside in Iowa. All nomination forms must be received by July 1, 2012.
