Executive Tours

The Greater Des Moines Partnership Executive Tours provide a unique opportunity for executive-level candidates for positions at Partnership Investor organizations to receive a personalized ninety-minute tour of the Des Moines (DSM) region. On their tour, candidates will learn more about living in DSM and the amenities and advantages the region has to offer. Tours can include visiting venues, neighborhoods, gyms, local shops and more. The Partnership team offers this service to support the recruitment efforts employers undergo to bring executive and leadership level talent to the DSM region.

A Personalized Experience

Tours will typically begin at the individual’s hotel and will lead to specific destinations catered to the individual’s interests. From visiting schools and healthcare facilities to engaging with local leaders and community members, the Executive Tours are sure to check off the must-see spots of central Iowa. The Partnership can also provide a “DSM Local” gift box and relocation packet.
