For much of his life, President Emeritus and LAWINRC founder, Willard “Sandy” Boyd was a collector of presidential memorabilia. The summer issue of Iowa Magazine includes a short feature on Sandy’s extensive collection which he donated to the UI’s Law Library in 1997. His acquisitions include more than 2000 books, magazine and newspaper articles, election analysis, campaign speeches, books about first ladies, pamphlets, and an array of ephemera.

“One of the frequent requests we receive at our Center is data on nonprofit salaries and benefits,” said LAWINRC director Paul Thelen. “In collaboration with the Iowa Nonprofit Alliance, we are excited to offer our first statewide Salary & Benefits Survey Report for 2024. It includes responses from over 300 nonprofit entities in Iowa. In addition, we partnered with the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands to include over 300 responses from across Nebraska. Together, this regional report will offer valuable information and insight to nonprofit leaders from across our two great states.”
