ABOUT US
The Iowa Racquetball Association (IRA) is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization chartered by the United States Racquetball Association. Our mission statement is as follows: "To promote, improve and expand the sport of racquetball in Iowa." We will do so by hosting State and National tournaments, holding clinics with a focus on encouraging juniors to participate in racquetball, purchasing equipment for new players, sending e-mails and updating our website with news about Iowa racquetball. We will be continually raising funds to assist in carrying out our mission statement.
​
The IRA was revived in September 2012, and is formed with seven active members: Rob Paulsen (President), Susan Acoymo (Vice President), Dan Horner (Secretary), Josh Paul (Treasurer), Jeff Burbank (board member), Mike Gleason (board member) and Andy Pearson (board member). The IRA holds a minimum of quarterly meetings. Want to know what's been discussed? Check out our meeting minutes listed at the bottom of this page.
