Iowa Governor’s 2021 Volunteer Award

 

The Iowa Alpha Chapter of Tau Beta Pi has been selected to receive a 2021 Iowa Governor’s Volunteer Award. This award recognizes Iowa Alpha’s many years of service to the state through the Adopt-A-Highway program.

The Iowa Governor’s Volunteer Award (GVA) program honors the dedicated people who volunteer their time and talent to help an agency or organization deliver on its mission. Nonprofits, charitable organizations, and government entities (city, county, state, and federal) may recommend an individual volunteer or group of volunteers who directly assisted the organization with a project, event, or activity, for a Governor’s Volunteer Award. Iowa Alpha’s nomination was submitted by Shannon Anderson at the Iowa Department of Transportation.

The Iowa Alpha Chapter of Tau Beta Pi was established in 1907 as the nation’s 19th collegiate chapter.  It is the oldest continually active honor society at Iowa State University.
