Dear (ELECTED OFFICE) (LAST NAME):

I want to express my deepest thanks for your support of the Community Colleges of Iowa, especially over the last few years.  But, this year we need your help.  As the (title/position) at North Iowa Area Community College, I believe the community colleges must play a vital role in the State of Iowa’s economic recovery.

The current economic climate in Iowa creates a need to develop support for skilled worker training and economic development endeavors.  The influx of new students and displaced workers turning to the Community Colleges of Iowa for regional access to educational and training opportunities will continue to grow.   Iowa’s community colleges need to be part of the economic solution for our state.

I appreciate your support of the role our regional community colleges play and ask for your continued support for community colleges throughout the upcoming legislative session.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
