The Iowa Lakes Board of Trustees meet on the Esterville Campus.

The Board of Trustees of Iowa Lakes Community College held a public hearing on the 2009 Fiscal Year Budget for the college.
The planned published budget of $38.37 million was approved by the Trustees. Property valuations in the five-county area covered by the college have increased slightly. The increase will generate additional funds for the general and plant fund as well as the equipment replacement funds.
The Iowa Lakes Report featured the fast-growing Wind Energy and Turbine Technology program. Instructor Al Zeitz – who has been with the program since its inception – talked about the new building addition as well as remodeling of the facility used by the Wind Energy students. Zeitz also shared that students in the program are "in demand" when they graduate due to the excellent education the students receive at Iowa Lakes.
The next meeting of the Iowa Lakes Board of Trustees is scheduled for Tuesday, March 18, in Estherville.
