Historical Note
Iowa 2000 was a series of planning conferences proposed by then-U.S. Representative John C. Culver in 1972. Governor Robert D. Ray appointed a planning committee with University of Iowa President Willard L. Boyd as chair. Regional meetings culminated in statewide conferences held at Simpson College, 1974, the University of Iowa, 1977, and Iowa State University, 1978. The futures of Iowa's economics, resources, and society were discussed.
