"Women deal every day with life's challenges and choices presented by their individual personal, family, workplace, and community experiences," said Grassley. "That's the common link that ties women in Iowa of all ages and backgrounds to one another. Whether it's providing care to an aging parent, squeezing in weekend classes to earn an advanced degree, or finding the best child-care option for your family, women work tirelessly to make all the pieces fit the puzzle."
Working to provide Iowa women the opportunity to draw and learn from one another's experiences, the Grassleys will host for the fifth time an inspirational forum that again features locally and nationally acclaimed presenters. They have hosted four previous conferences in West Des Moines, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Career counselor and WHO Radio host, Roxanne Rogers, will serve as moderator throughout the day.
The four featured speakers include:
"Attendance and feedback at our previous conferences indicate that this is an affordable, worthwhile opportunity to network with other professionals, homemakers, entrepreneurs, students, and community leaders," said Grassley. "Plus, with such a dynamic roster of speakers, it's a sure-fire way to start out the work week and rejuvenate for the fall."
