“I am humbled to be reappointed by Iowa Governor Reynolds to the Commission,” said Dr. Minnick. “It is an honor to serve on the board of commissioners alongside fellow Iowans who also share the same passion in wanting to make a positive impact and provide an active voice for others within the Iowa government.”
As a volunteer commissioner for Volunteer Iowa, Dr. Minnick, along with 30 other commissioners, will be responsible for governing the state agency, Volunteer Iowa, which is responsible for administrating Iowa’s National Service and supporting volunteer projects and programs across Iowa.

About Volunteer Iowa (Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service)
Volunteer Iowa and its partner agencies work with organizations and individuals on three main fronts. The first is to help agencies develop quality programs that use service as a strategy to fulfill their missions and address Iowa’s greatest areas of need. The second is to help engage Iowans in their communities by promoting service and expanding the volunteer base. Finally, the third area of work is to connect individuals with appropriate service opportunities by building the volunteer infrastructure. More information is available at www.volunteeriowa.org.
