Ann Mansfield recipient of "2015 Healthy Iowa Award"

Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds have presented a "2015 Healthy Iowa Award" to Ann Mansfield from the Northeast Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative of Decorah for "Visionary Leadership."
 
The Healthy Iowa Awards, a joint program of the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Healthiest State Initiative, recognize individuals and organizations that have developed and implemented policies and practices resulting in sustainable environmental change and healthier living for Iowans.
 
Based in Decorah, the Northeast Iowa Food & Fitness Initiative has brought together people in Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Howard and Winneshiek counties to improve access to healthy, locally grown foods and to provide abundant opportunities for physical activity in the places where we live, learn, work and play.
