Rebuild Iowa Advisory Commission
The Rebuild Iowa Advisory Commission (RIAC) is a 15-member non-partisan Commission, appointed by the Governor of Iowa. The RIAC was established in the same Executive Order that established the RIO (June 27, 2008, Executive Order 7). The members of the RIAC assist the RIO, and through them the Governor, in providing the vision, creativity, and leadership to identify, prioritize, and address the short- and long-term issues of recovery. Members of the Commission will also serve as Task Force Chairs for the nine RIO Recovery Task Forces, helping to facilitate dialogue on complex recovery issues and make recommendations in focused issue areas.
Objectives
As an advisory body, the RIAC has no direct legal authority, however the Commission is charged with:
- recommending policy to facilitate long-term recovery in the state;
- making recommendations to the RIO and overseeing their activities; and
- assisting with the identification of strategic issues and broad-based recovery needs and priorities.
