Gov. Kim Reynolds today signed an executive order establishing the Governor’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. The advisory board, which will be led by Ben McLean, CEO of Ruan Transportation Management Systems, will focus on modernizing Iowa’s economy as well as education, health care, workforce and quality of life. “Iowa’s success has always been about turning obstacles into opportunities,” Reynolds said in a press release. “The Governor’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board assembles an impressive group of business leaders to propel our recovery efforts forward and position Iowa for growth. Iowans will be at the center of this effort as we continue to make our state the best place to live, work and raise a family. I want to thank Ben McLean, CEO of Ruan Transportation for his willingness to serve as the chair and appreciate all those serving on this advisory board.” A list of the advisory board members can be found here.
