Today, we celebrate a special milestone—President & CEO Nate Ristow's second anniversary with the Iowa Taxpayers Association! 🎉

In just two years, Nate has made a tremendous impact through his leadership and dedication to advancing sound public fiscal policy for Iowa businesses.

Reflecting on this milestone, Nate shared his appreciation for the support of ITA members, the Board of Directors, and the association's committee chairs and members. Their partnership and engagement have helped him learn, grow, and succeed in his role.

Nate is especially proud of ITA's ongoing work advocating for responsible tax and fiscal policies that strengthen Iowa's business climate.

Please join us in congratulating Nate on two successful years and thanking him for his commitment to Iowa taxpayers and businesses.
