This year-long, in-person cohort is designed to build advanced executive skills—supporting strategic thinking, operational excellence, and resilient organizational cultures. Over the coming months, participants will engage in meaningful learning, peer connection, and real-world application that will be a true game changer for their organizations.

Here’s to a year of growth, collaboration, and leadership. Welcome to the 2026 cohort! 👏

IACP members deliver essential supports in all 99 counties across Iowa. These services depend on Medicaid rates that keep pace with actual costs. When rates are not reviewed regularly, access to care and workforce stability are put at risk.

This brief video explains why consistent rate reviews matter—and why IACP supports House Study Bill 621. This legislation provides a practical, transparent approach to ensuring rates are reviewed in a timely and sustainable way.

Let your legislators know you support HSB 621 (link in comments).

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Last month, IACP CEO Ben Shuberg was honored to join the panel From DC to Iowa: How Policy Shifts Will Impact the Disability Community, hosted by The Harkin Institute.

Ben shared Iowa’s provider perspective—highlighting how federal policy decisions shape access, funding, and the long-term stability of community-based services across our state.

This important conversation explored major issues on the horizon, including anticipated HCBS waiver reforms, workforce and reimbursement challenges, and the evolving federal landscape that will impact how Iowans with disabilities receive services.

IACP is grateful for opportunities like this to elevate the voices of Iowa’s providers and ensure our members stay ahead of the changes coming from Washington. Our commitment remains clear: strong advocacy, informed leadership, and a steadfast focus on ensuring every Iowan can live, work, and thrive in the community of their choice.
