Strategic Plans

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs created the 2016-2018 strategic plan based on our mission to empower Iowa to build and sustain culturally vibrant communities by connecting Iowans to the people, places and points of price that define our state.

To that end, the plan focuses the department’s efforts on five priorities: partnerships, storytelling, technology, internal collaboration and metrics.

Gov. Kim Reynolds is committed to Building a Better Iowa, a vision that is supported by the DCA’s efforts to help the state foster creativity and become a catalyst for innovation, where the stories of Iowa are preserved and communicated to connect past, present and future generations.
