ILC Teams

Do you want to be part of an exciting, creative team working to improve and strengthen the Iowa Lean Consortium? We established two teams to further the mission of the ILC and to broaden participation from our membership. These are working teams, where members are actively involved in meeting the yearly team goals, actively participate in meetings and engage in activities outside of team meetings.

This is a volunteer opportunity to help fulfill the ILC mission of offering a diverse network to share innovative practices through a member-driven consortium while building your network and giving back to the ILC.

Programming Team

The purpose of the Programming Team is to generate innovative ideas regarding the programming the ILC offers, as well as help bring those ideas to life. As a result, this is a working group. Team members will be actively involved in events and programming, which pertains not only to in-person events but online offerings (synchronous, asynchronous), networking opportunities, and things we haven’t thought of yet!
