Justin Hupfer, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for the Iowa Credit Union League and CEO of PolicyWorks, received the 2026 Eugene H. Farley League Leadership Award from the American Association of Credit Union Leagues. The honor recognizes his more than 25 years of leadership advancing advocacy for Iowa credit unions, strengthening legislative engagement, building sustainable advocacy infrastructure, and supporting collaboration across the national credit union mov

Colleagues, clients, friends, and family gathered to celebrate the remarkable career and retirement of PolicyWorks Senior Vice President John Cacciatore. His decades of public service and leadership have left a lasting impact on Iowa, and his legacy of integrity and dedication will continue to inspire for years to come.

At PolicyWorks, we believe personal growth fuels professional growth. After 15 years of employment, our team members are eligible for a 5-week sabbatical. It’s an intentional time to step away from the office, explore, and recharge. Our colleague Keisha recently took advantage of this unique opportunity, and her adventure spanned oceans, cultures, and coasts.

We’re pleased to announce that Jake Friedrichsen will be joining PolicyWorks as Vice President of Government Affairs beginning in August. Jake brings more than a decade of experience working in and around the Iowa State Capitol.
