Iowans Can Now Submit The Names Of Their Mentors And Local Heroes

Des Moines, Iowa (RI) — Nominations are now being taken for the 2025 Iowa Character Awards, to recognize Iowans who go above and beyond as leaders, volunteers, and role models in their communities.

Former Sheldon area resident Amy Smit is the spokeswoman for Character Counts and Drake University’s Robert D. and Billie Ray Center.

Since the program’s launch, more than 100 individual Iowans and businesses have been recognized with an Iowa Character Award. Smit says nominating a person or business is simple.

The winners will be announced in June.
