Our CAPS associates were meeting with clients today for their projects. Adding value and growing professionally!

On Monday we were blessed with having our CAPS alumni from Soring 2024 come visit and share their experiences and how the skills they developed in the CAPS program has aided them in their daily lives. It was great to hear their experiences and advice to the current associates.

One of the greatest things we get to do within the CAPS program is to partner with businesses to add value to their business and our community. Here our associates are presenting the research they have done and give their pitch for what they believe can aid a business partner.

We would like to take a moment and thank Logan Patterson and United Bank of Iowa for partnering with us with quarter zips. We plan to wear these as a program as we are in our communities. They look sharp!
