Mark your calendars! The 2015 edition of Golfin' Fore Safety, the fundraising (and fun-raising) golf tournament for the IAMU safety program, will be held Wednesday, June 24th at the Amana Colonies Golf Course near Amana, Iowa. Registration materials are being prepared and will be available on the IAMU Events page by early next week. We hope to see you there! Bart Rule, who served as IAMU's second Executive Director, passed away on April 2nd in Dunlap, Iowa at the age of 67. Rule began his career at IAMU in June 1976 when he was named Assistant Director. The post was created to ensure a smooth transition when then Executive Director Pat Touchae retired in September 1978. After succeeding Touchae that year, Rule served as Executive Director until his resignation in May 1986. Rule was replaced by Bob Haug. Harold Schiebout, former General Manager at Sioux Center Municipal Utilities, says Rule was \a gifted spokesperson and lobbyist for IAMU during his tenure. Schiebout says Rule, along with Bob Jester, was instrumental in establishing the IAMU Safety Program. Rule received the Kramer-Preston Personal Service Award from APPA in 1985 for his work in establishing APPA’s PowerPAC program. An obituary for Bart Rule is available online. Waverly Utilities General Manager Darrel Wenzel has been recognized by his industry peers for his service to the cause of municipal broadband.
