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