Robert D. Ray Iowa Sister States Service Award Recepients


This award was named in honor of Robert D. Ray for two important reasons. The first reason being that he, along with former Governor Branstad, had the vision to create Iowa Sister States. The second reason is because Iowa Sister States strives to continually honor Governor Ray’s positive presence in the international community by continually advocating for the development of international partnerships between Iowans and the rest of the world.
