Preuschl has 24 years of active duty military service with the Iowa National Guard with nearly 35 years of service with the Guard. He currently works at the Fort Dodge Armory and is outprocessing.

Dan Lewandowsi has directed Webster County Veterans Affairs for 13 years and announced his retirement earlier this year.

“The role of the Veterans Affairs director is extremely important,” said Rich Lennon, Webster County Veterans Affairs commissioner. “We brought in $24 million into Webster County for veterans last year. We want to increase that, and looking at Dana’s background, he has administrative experience, computer skills, and he understands the system. We welcome Dana. Dan has done an outstanding job, and we have time now for Dana to work alongside Dan to learn.”

Preuschl will take over the directorial role for Webster County Veterans Affairs in May.

Webster County Treasurer Brenda Angstrom provided a semi-annual report to supervisors. According to Angstrom, with the 2025 rule change allowing title transactions to be done at any Treasurer’s Office, her department issues 1,300 additional titles.

“That’s an additional 125 per month,” said Angstrom.

Julie Edwards and Shakira Meyer with Upper Des Moines Opportunity Inc. also provided a presentation to the supervisors, noting that they provide $1.5 million in services within Webster County.

“Webster County is our busiest county and has the greatest need out of our 12 counties,” said Edwards. “You’re one of the only counties that doesn’t support us through a partnership, and so we’re asking that you please consider that this year.”

Edwards and Meyer provided an annual report and data to the supervisors and asked them to consider support and a sharing agreement which would also allow Upper Des Moines Opportunity access to additional grant funding for those in need.
