The "Cornbelt Federation" is the regional designation for the fifteen clubs of Cosmopolitan International which are located in Nebraska and Iowa.  The parent organization, Cosmopolitan International, is a chartered not-for-profit civic service organization that was founded in 1918.  It consists of some 70 clubs located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico with a total membership of nearly 2,000 persons.  While Cosmopolitan's principle effort is directed at the fight against diabetes, its member clubs also support community service projects and charitable causes in the communities where they are located.

HISTORY

 

The exact date of the formation of what is now known as the Cornbelt Federation is unclear.  However, in 1940 the Nebraska Federation was recorded with eight clubs located in eight cities in the state of Nebraska.  By 1949, that number increased to 11 clubs in as many cities.

In 1952 the federation name was changed to the Cornhusker Federation.  In recognition of two Iowa clubs that had been added to the federation, members voted to change the name in 1957 to the Cornbelt Federation.

The Federation has a long and distinguished history in Cosmopolitan International; hosting seven International Conventions and giving rise to eleven International Presidents.

From 1946-1950 the Cosmopolitan International Headquarters was located in Kearney, Nebraska.  The office was then moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1950 where it resided until 1953.

Never one to rest on its laurels, in 1993 members of the Cornbelt Federation formed the Cornbelt Diabetes Connection.  With a goal of providing early diabetes detection, diabetes education, and  resources for individuals with diabetes living in the Nebraska-Iowa area.
