  7. THE INVITATION Iowa Public Radio is now five years old and true to our mission we continue to enhance Iowans’ civic and cultural connections throughout our great state. As we grow and serve more communities in Iowa, we find we have even more questions on ‘how’ we can serve. We recognize that people don’t give their time, talent and treasure because an organization has needs – people give because an organization meets needs. We want to learn more – how can we better meet the needs of the communities we serve in Iowa? You are invited to join a conversation – about civic and cultural engagement. We invite you to participate in a dialogue that will aid an ongoing process of understanding our communities’ needs, how we contribute social capital, and how we can better serve as a media organization devoted to enhancing that connection among all Iowans.
