Heather Sweeden
City Clerk
I’ve been serving Ida Grove since: 2016
Why I Serve: I love to help people – it’s the best part of my job. I grew up admiring my grandfather who served as Ida Grove’s City Crew Foreman for over 20 years and I think that really sparked my interest in working for the city.
I Love Ida Grove: I love Ida Grove because we have all the great aspects of a small town community but we also have tons of amenities more typically found in a larger community. We really are a small town with a big town feel.
My Passions: My main passions are my faith, family, friends and my job. I also thoroughly enjoy traveling, music, golfing and the Iowa Hawkeyes – go Hawks!
My Dream for Ida Grove: I want to see Ida Grove grow and prosper. I want the best for our community and will work to the best of my ability to make that happen.
