HR 7 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to recognize Iowa Small Business Development Centers and honor the 2025 special entrepreneur award winners.

This resolution (HR 7) honors Iowa Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) for their 44 years of providing free business counseling and training across all 99 counties, and specifically recognizes two 2025 award winners: Sierra Elbert (founder of Groom Curriculum, recipient of the Deb Dalziel Women Entrepreneur Achievement Award) and Abe Sandquist (founder of Natural Fertilizer Services, recipient of the Neal Smith Entrepreneur of the Year Award). It expresses the House's thanks to the SBDCs for supporting Iowa entrepreneurs and making the state a better place to live and work. As a symbolic resolution - not a law - it has no direct policy impact but serves to publicly acknowledge these organizations and individuals.
