Intern Update

This is my third week here in the Blue Ribbon Foundation office. It’s been busy here and no day has been the same as the last. Personally, I love that. I’ve been working on the Iowan of the Day program for the most part. I’ve organized my files, updated contact lists, written letters and signed more than a few to reach out to possible nominators. In addition, I’ve also been able to work a little on the upcoming newsletter and, of course, blogging for the Foundation.

As you might imagine, time is flying by here. April is only a few days away! Only a few more weeks before nominations for the Iowan of the Day program start coming. I’ve looked over past nominations and am continually impressed with the dedication I’ve seen. I’m excited to see what this year brings. If you know someone who embodies Iowan values like honesty, reliability and a strong work ethic and is committed to making their community a better place, consider nominating them. Nomination forms and sample nominations are available online here.

I’m looking forward to getting more involved with the program as spring carries on!
