Welcome to the IOWAccess Advisory Council.

Creating an electronic gateway to government information

The role of the IOWAccess Advisory Council is to create and provide a service to citizens of the state that will serve as a gateway for one-stop electronic access to governmental information, transactions, and services at state, county, or local levels. In this role, the Council accepts and reviews proposals for funding of electronic projects.

IOWA Code established the Council in 1998. Its 19 members are appointed by the Governor for multi-year terms.

Who can request support from IOWAccess?

The IOWAccess Advisory Council has set the following guidelines for reviewing requests:

  • The request must be made by a State of Iowa, county, or local government agency
  • The request must meet the mission of the government agency
  • The request must provide a service to the citizens of Iowa
  • The website/application must provide electronic access to government information or transactions whether federal, state or local.
  • The government agency can outsource management of the website to a non-profit organization, but the agency is ultimately responsible for the information contained therein.

IOWAccess Funded Projects

Since 1998, $6.8 million in e-Government projects have been financially supported by IOWAccess.
