“The recognition is a great honor for us, but it's also very humbling since we know there are so many deserving groups doing great work across the United States,” said Hugh Espey, executive director of Iowa CCI.
CCI members will take their advocacy to the Iowa Capitol for a Rally & Lobby Day Jan. 26. CCI will call on legislators to stand on the side of everyday people, not big-money special interests.
