Over Phelan’s 24-year career, she inspired, motivated, and empowered others to invest in Iowa’s future by prioritizing the needs of young people.

“I know that the needs of Iowa’s young people continue to rise in dramatic ways. I created the Phelan’s Giving Circle to increase the locations and access to iJAG support to the kids who need it most”, Laurie Phelan.
