The Connect Foundation’s
2012 Iowa Juneteenth Observance Committee
Affiliate of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation
The Iowa
Juneteenth Observance Planning Committee consists of
volunteers from various career and service backgrounds.
The Iowa Juneteenth Observance’s accomplishments are
unique when considering it is the largest event produced
by the African American community and operates as an
independent and self-reliant entity that is
community-driven. Our 2012 Iowa Juneteenth Observance
Committee consists of a demographic and geographic
representation of volunteers.
