Please briefly describe the relationship of your institution’s economic development activities to the enhancement of economic growth in the state. The description should cover, but not necessarily be limited to the following: a. The relationship between institutional activities and creation of jobs and wealth in Iowa b. Institutional activities and services which indirectly promote economic development, such as training provided to staff of local economic development agencies 1.A Enhancement of Economic Growth through Job Creation and Retention, Investments, Sales, and Cost Savings Iowa State University engages in several activities that have direct impact on both the creation as well as the retention of jobs in Iowa. The ISU Research Park is a technology community that encourages commercialization of university research. Likewise, the Innovations Development Facility, part of the Plant Sciences Institute, incubates new companies. In addition, the IPRT (Institute for Physical Research and Technology) Company Assistance Program, ISU Extension’s Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS), the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship interact with companies across Iowa to solve production and management problems. These interactions lead to the resolution of problems related to product development and business management. As a consequence of the improved production resulting from these interactions, businesses have been able to retain and often expand their work force rather than lay off workers due to the expected down turn in business if no solution to the problems had been found.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    Calculating your membership Ames Chamber of Commerce & Economic Development 2009 Annual Report As we enter another decade, it’s fun to look back to see how far we’ve come - not only as member organizations serving businesses in central Iowa, but as a whole community. The Ames Chamber of Commerce and the Ames Economic Development Commission (AEDC) continue to grow in membership numbers, certainly, but also in the reach of their programming and long-term investments. The Ames Chamber and AEDC continue to work together to promote a business climate conducive for growth, prosperity and a future we can be proud to leave to future generations. The 2009 accomplishments of the Ames Chamber and AEDC highlighted in the pages that follow are indicative of what’s ahead for Ames. While the economic outlook for our state and our nation continue to be cloudy, Ames continues to be a strong community for business. In fact, while the rest of the country battled increasing unemployment rates this year, Ames, Iowa was routinely listed in the top 5 cities in the country this past year on record. On top of this, while most Chambers fight to keep 80% of their members, in 2009 the Ames Chamber boasted a 93% retention rate and finished with another record membership total of 726. Most members of both the Ames Chamber of Commerce and the AEDC know intuitively that their investment in these orga- nizations is a worthy one, but when we see numbers like this - and accomplishments like those in this report - it’s a positive affirmation of what we’ve known deep down all along: Ames really is a community where we can live, work and thrive.

  • April 1, 2003 OPERATIONS: Summer Run Pick: Run Pick for the Summer Schedule Has Started for Full Time Drivers and Will Begin On
    April 1, 2003 OPERATIONS: Summer Run Pick: Run pick for the summer schedule has started for full time drivers and will begin on April 15 for part time drivers. For those part time drivers who have never been through a run pick, here are a few things to keep in mind: .You will have a one-hour period to make your choice. If you cannot be here for any reason, fill out a "Driver’s Run Pick Choices" form and give it to any dispatcher. .If you are taking classes during the summer, be sure to have your class schedule with you when choosing runs. .As soon as the previous driver’s time has expired, the next driver may choose, so try to choose your run on time or the shifts you want may be taken by someone else. .Posted on the break room board are the shifts available to be chosen. For the summer run pick, you may choose any combination of shifts on different days (e.g., #41 on Tuesday, #49 on Wednesday, #30 & #56 on Friday). .As shifts are chosen by drivers higher on the seniority list, they will be crossed off the list that is posted on the board. The sheets on the tables are not guaranteed to be accurate. .Some shifts are grouped with an On Call. Both the regular shift and the On Call must be taken together. .Part time drivers must meet with Brent, Jenny, Barb, Karen, or Tom D. to choose a run so that we can confirm that the shifts are available and that all scheduling rules are met.

  • 2014 Erector
    2014 ERECTOR SET FOR CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING ALUMNI About The Erector Set As students graduated from Iowa State University construction engineering program, they continued to come back to Iowa State to recruit other students. Graduates felt the urge to stay connected to the program, resulting in the first-ever The Erector Set, which was published in summer 1969. So where did the name come from? Tom Jellinger, the first professor-in-charge of construction engineering, one day talked to his wife, Ro, and said he was thinking of calling it “The ConE Newsletter.” She thought about it, and said, “That sounds boring! Why don’t you call it something fun, like The Erector Set!” Construction Engineering Curriculum Denise Wood Co-Editor Christopher Neary Co-Editor Volume XXXXV August 15, 2014 Cover Photo Students of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Iowa State chapter gather just prior to the 2013 VEISHEA Parade. Each year, AGC drives construction machinery down the VEISHEA Parade route and hands out candy to youngsters as they pass. AGC recently has captured external regional press in Tennessee and Missouri for their rebuilding work in those areas. This has enhanced Iowa State construction engineering’s reputation as a hard-working, community-oriented program in many areas outside the immediate Iowa State University community.
