  Sarah Schillerstrom - President
I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2004 and am now in my second year of the Master’s of Public Administration Program.  I have interned for the Iowa League of Cities and managed a membership survey project, I am currently interning at the Iowa Department of Management.  My interests include strategic planning and performance measurement. 
I love to travel and water ski.  My ideal first job would be one that allows me to be close my family and still travel the country.

  Amanda Hollis - Secretary
I'm a 2nd year PA student, who hopes to graduate this coming May. I'm originally from Hampton, IA and got my BA degree from UNI.  I majored in Political Science and PA there.  I'm interested in local government, and this summer I interned for the Iowa State Association of Counties.  This school year I am interning for the City of Huxley.  I like to go to music concerts, knit, and travel.  I also have a pet fish named Magellan.  I look forward to being secretary this year and hope the club does a lot of fun things!
