Event Information
Description
Passport to Prosperity annually recognizes five immigrants and refugees changemakers for their significant economic, cultural or social contributions to our communities and the State of Iowa. Passport to Prosperity also recognizes an emerging leader, aged 17-24, and a Welcoming the World recipient. These individuals are recognized during Passport to Prosperity Awards & Gala. The celebration reflects the cultures of each recipient through food (dinner), flags, décor and entertainment. Since 2002 Iowa International Center has honored more than 85 community changemakers for their significant contributions to our communities and the state of Iowa. Past attendees include community leaders, current and past elected officials, businesses, representatives of ethnic communities, and those interested in global community. 35% of attendees are foreign-born immigrants or refugees. Attendees are supportive of immigrants and refugees who came to escape violence and cultural targeting, or to pursue economic and
educational opportunities.
