Airport Greeter

Greeting our visitors at the airport makes them feel welcome the moment they arrive in Eastern Iowa! Greet them with a sign, escort them to baggage claim, and show them to their shuttle.

Professional Meeting Escort

Escorting our visitors to their professional meetings is a great opportunity to get to know them and show them around eastern Iowa. Serving as a meeting escort is easy!

Iowa Table Dinner Host

Welcome visitors by inviting them to your home for dinner. The visitors’ bios, program summary, and country information are all provided. If necessary, interpreters are provided as well.
