Organization
The Friends of IAGenWeb was organized in 2002. It is structured pursuant to the statute laws of the State of Iowa regulating the formation and organization of corporations without capital stock and operates under a set of Articles of Association that are available for review upon request.
Friends of IAGenWeb operates independently of The IAGenWeb Project. To insure against conflict of the mission of IAGenWeb, the presiding officers of the Friends are the IAGenWeb State Coordinator as President and the Assistant State Coordinator as Vice-President. The Friends of IAGenWeb board is composed of as many past State Coordinators as choose to participate.
No part of the assets or income of The Friends shall be distributed to the officers, board members or any one else directly connected to The Friends or IAGenWeb.

"Last week that I looked at your GenWeb site. That was a very pleasant surprise. You have certainly done a great deal of fantastic work. In searching around, I found loads of information that helped fill in many blanks on my family tree. A special note of gratitude goes to Debbie Nash and Joey Stark for all those obituaries they have posted and the link you have put with the cemetery records."
