Elisabeth Tursi

Fautsch Tursi Law Firm

I support The Iowa Center because: My connection to the Iowa Center for Economic Success is both personal and professional. Early in the journey of starting our law firm, Fautsch Tursi LLP, my partner, David Fautsch, and I had the opportunity to work with the Iowa Center as clients. Through that experience, I saw firsthand the organization’s commitment to helping entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business. The Iowa Center understands that behind every small business is a person with a vision, a family relying on their success, and a community that benefits when they thrive. Today, as a board member, I am proud to support an organization that empowers Iowans to pursue their entrepreneurial goals and achieve financial success. The Iowa Center provides more than education and resources; it creates opportunities for people to turn their ideas into sustainable businesses that strengthen our communities and local economy. I support The Iowa Center because I have seen the difference it makes in the lives of entrepreneurs, including my own. The organization gives aspiring and established business owners the tools, guidance, and confidence they need to build successful businesses and make Iowa a more vibrant place to live.
