Who we are and how we can help you!

The Iowa Trust Association was first started over 50 years ago with the purpose of providing information and education regarding the trust industry to it's members. Additionally, we attempt to keep our members informed regarding new and pending legislation as well as rules and regulations from the regulators at both the State and National level which could impact trust services. In recent years we have also taken the initiative to introduce significant legislation here in Iowa to cure problems being experienced by our members.

We keep our members informed primarily through the Newsletter or, if warranted, through special mailings if there is a sense of urgency to the message. We also have a number of committees available which our members can serve on if it is in an area of special interest to them.

Currently, we offer two major programs/seminars for our members each year with one occurring in conjunction with our Annual Meeting in the Fall and the other offered in May of each year as a part of the MOKAN conference held in Kansas City, MO.

The Association has also engaged a nationally respected attorney to prepare an Iowa Will and Trust forms manual which is sold at a discount to Association members, many of whom make them available to attorneys in their community.

We also jointly sponsor The Trust School in conjunction with the Kansas and Nebraska Trust Associations which is designed primarily for new personnel to the trust industry. It offers an excellent overview of the trust industry and we have received many fine compliments about the School.

We also have a website (www.iatrust.com) which contains many important items about the trust association and we encourage our members to check often with our site for new and important developments. You may also contact us by e-mail (iowatrust@iowabankers.com) and if your institution has a website we will list your website and provide a hotlink to your site along with your e-mail address.

As a member of the Association, many of our programs and services are offered to members at a reduced rate which allows your membership to pay for itself if you utilize any of the benefits.

Dues for membership in the Association are shown in the Annual Dues Schedule. I hope you will give serious consideration to becoming a member of the Association and let us add your name to our growing list of new members. Just call the Association at 800-800-2353 for additional information on how to join.
