The University of Northern Iowa has appointed Drew Conrad as the new executive director of Business & Community Services (BCS), the economic development outreach arm of the Wilson College of Business, effective July 1.
When disaster strikes, Business & Community Services steps up to support Iowa's recovery. After devastating storms in the spring of 2024, our Institute for Decision-Making and Strategic Marketing Services gathered critical data to inform relief efforts, aiding communities in addressing housing, infrastructure and resource needs.
Almost 40 years ago, the University of Northern Iowa's Business and Community Services began with a vision to improve Iowa. Today, it has grown into 12 diverse programs offering consulting in economic development, waste reduction, family business, employee ownership, entrepreneurship, market research, and more.
