Empowering Voices: Supporting Businesses In Iowa

We will explore the challenges that business owners are facing in our current economic challenges, the initiatives that can drive meaningful change, and the powerful impact they are making on local communities. Each person will share their personal stories, struggles, and triumphs, offering invaluable perspectives on overcoming barriers to success. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about actionable ways they can support Iowa’s diverse business community.

Visionary Leaders Legacy Forum

The Visionary Leaders Legacy Forum is a powerful speaker series spotlighting executives who are nearing or have recently entered retirement after decades of impactful leadership. Each month, we gather to hear from a different visionary as they share their personal leadership journey, lessons learned, defining moments, and the legacy they hope to leave behind.

Featured Leader: Greg Edwards, Catch Des Moines
