Cyanna Boggess
Term
I have been a resident of Vinton, Iowa for the last 10 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed living here in town and all the great amenities it has to offer. It reminds me a lot of the small town Iowa upbringing I experienced and I am happy to raise my kids in such a wonderful town.
I have two children: Rylee who is a 6th grader and Parker who is in 1st grade. Both very proud Vikettes. My husband Matt is the Director of Parks and Recreation and the reason we choose to move to Vinton. Prior to living in Vinton, our family lived in Marion for 3 years with the previous 8 years in Las Vegas, NV.
Most of my past work experience has been in the hospitality industry. With a focus on tourism and event management there has been much collaboration between hotels, municipal departments and tourism/economic development organizations. However, I have recently made a career change and am currently working with Iowa Valuation Professionals as a Residential Real Estate Appraiser. The position gives me great insight into what makes not just a valuable home, but how much that home is enriched by its community.
In addition to my work I also act as the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the Eastern Iowa Professional Women’s Network. With influences from some amazing individuals within this community in addition to my previous experience I look forward to an opportunity to give back to a community that has given my family so much. I look forward to watching our town continue to grow and prosper.
