 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.
