What is the Envision Iowa Statewide Leaders Economic Sentiment Survey?
The Envision Iowa Statewide Leaders Economic Sentiment Survey is a research collaboration between BPC and Bâton Global that provides leaders and decision-makers across Iowa with sentiment data on the aggregated outlook for the future of Iowa. Again this year, data has been gathered from top-level Iowa leaders to generate a report to support you in making commercial, investment and public policy decisions that positively affect Iowa’s long-term economic performance.
