 On behalf of the ImpactCR board of advisors, we thank you for your past support of Access Iowa, Next Generation and now ImpactCR. It has been a tremendous year of new beginnings and we are committed to working together with our partners at the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce to define ImpactCR as the Corridor’s leading group for now and next generation talent.
Through the commitment of its volunteer leadership and of members like you, ImpactCR seeks to connect, engage and empower now and next generation talent in the Cedar Rapids area. ImpactCR members have come together because we are committed to creating a stronger, more vibrant community for current and future generations.

Not only will we continue to offer some of your favorite programs (i.e. Siren Wednesday, Leadership Brown Bags, Ugly Holiday Sweater Party), our new collaboration with the Chamber gives us the ability to provide new events and services exclusively for our paid members.
