It’s 9/25, and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” is on our minds today. 🎶

But we know the work you do for Iowans doesn’t always fit neatly between those hours. You show up for people on difficult days, celebrate their progress, and keep going even when the work is hard.

To the certified professionals serving Iowa’s communities: thank you. Your dedication makes a difference every day. 💙

Here are just a few moments from an amazing first day. 🎥✨

Rest up—we’ll see you tomorrow for Day Two! 💚
