Great to attend the
United Way of Central Iowa Tocqueville Society event celebrating the incredible impact of philanthropic leadership in our community. Thank you to
Holmes Murphy for hosting and sharing your beautiful building.
With
Benjy Klostermann and
Thomas Stewart serving as Co-Chairs of the 2026 campaign, the Tocqueville Society continues a legacy that has generated more than $128 million in support of Central Iowa since 1984.
Congratulations to
Don Coffin and Mary Coffin, recipients of the 2026 Tocqueville Society Award, for their longstanding commitment to service and community leadership.
It was also great to see United Way President
Mary Sellers and her team highlighting the power of collective giving and the meaningful difference these investments make throughout our region.
A special highlight was seeing
Maria Volante on stage. Having recently joined me as a guest on my "LED - Leadership with Ed," it was wonderful to see her leadership, passion, and dedication to Central Iowa reflected throughout the event. Look for her episode dropping October 14th!
