Treasurer - Jann Ream
Jann has been involved in the Iowa City fencing community and Iowa Division Board for many years. She is also a member of the 2013 USA Veteran Women's Epee Team.
The Board of Directors is elected annually by the Iowa Division USA Fencing members in good standing. This used to be done by a majority-rules, show-of-hands vote at the Iowa Division Championships/Summer Nationals Qualifiers, but now we do it via online survey that goes out to all eligible USA Fencing members in the Iowa Division in the spring. Term of office is approximately 1 year.
