Biographical / Historical
The NSCDA actively promotes its members heritage through historic preservation, patriotic service and educational projects.
Founded in 1896, NSCDA-IA is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that promotes the appreciation of and respect for the people, places and events that led to the formation and development of the United States of America. It is a lineage organization led and comprised by women with leadership opportunities nationally, regionally and locally.
The NSCDA-Iowa Society meetings are organized through two boroughs. The Davenport Borough encompasses eastern Iowa from Iowa City/Cedar Rapids to Muscatine, the Quad Cities and Dubuque. The Des Moines Borough encompasses an area sixty miles in circumference of the city. Approximately one third of the membership live out of state with Iowa family or friend connections.
