2025 IAS Service Award Recipients
Jan 19, 2026
Written by: Shelby Wartick, Communications Director
Our staff members are the backbone of our organization, and this past weekend, we celebrated their unwavering commitment to our vision during our annual employee appreciation celebration. We enjoyed a great meal, conversation, and entertainment with our full-time employees, giving us the chance to come together as one team despite working across Iowa and Wisconsin. We also took time to honor a special group of employees for their service milestones within the company, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.
Congratulations to our 2025 Service Award Recipients, and thank you to everyone who was able to attend.
