Gender Balance: Iowa is the only state in the US that requires its local and state level boards and commissions to be gender balanced. The Catt Center has been tracking compliance with this law since 2013. The legislation is under threat in both the courts and the state legislature. The Catt Center seeks to expand this research to compare the diversity of Iowa's boards and commissions with those in other states. https://cattcenter.iastate.edu/research/gender-balance-project/.
