The awards program is held each year to recognize the leadership and accomplishments of state service commissions and their commissioners, staff, service programs, and legislative champions from across the United States and its territories.Throughout his career, Loebsack has fought to increase funding and support of various service programs, including AmeriCorps and the Volunteer Iowa Commission. After seeing firsthand the work done by AmeriCorps volunteers in the aftermath of the Floods of 2008, Loebsack worked to get the Volunteer Generation Fund signed into law.

Loebsack continues to push for comprehensive, locally focused, national service through the Pandemic Response and Opportunity Through National Service Act, a bill that would strengthen the nation's response and recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic.I am honored to have been named a 2020 Friend of ASC and I want to thank America's Service Commissions for all they do to promote service across our nation, said Loebsack. Since our nation's founding, the secret to our success has been its ability to come together for the common good when others are in need. I have been pleased to work with groups like ASC to get more folks interested in serving their neighbors. By giving time and energy to assisting those in need, you can have a direct impact on someone's life. Our country's history was built on service and service must be a bright part of its future, too.It's truly an honor to recognize Congressman Loebsack for his longtime commitment to strengthening volunteerism and nationa… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
