HER Women in Business Luncheon Series
<p>Join us on Thursday, October 24<sup>th</sup> at the Graduate Hotel for our fall HER Luncheon in Iowa City. Our keynote for the event is <strong>Jackie Pelland</strong> (<em>Collins Aerospace</em>).</p><p>Luncheon tickets are $35 and include the keynote</p><p>Workshop tickets are $50 and include the luncheon, plus the workshop.</p><h5><strong><em>Want a powerful life? Do work that matters</em></strong></h5><p>We all do it. We wait to do work that matters. But, what are we waiting for? Too often we're waiting for permission to act. Perhaps a request from someone higher on the org chart. Or, a call from someone with a job offer. We wait for permission because we are taught to follow the rules, to stand in line, and ultimately, to give others the power. Little by little we begin to doubt our own ability. What if I fail? What if I'm wrong? What if my work is not perfect?</p><p>This session explores how to break the cycle of "waiting" and get started doing work that is meaningful, right now!</p> 2019-08-22 14:15:00 -0500

Film Screening: The Public (2018)
<p>In "The Public" an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.<br>Directed by Emilio Estevez 122 min.</p><p>This event is part of the Iowa City Public Library's Annual Intellectual Freedom Festival.</p> 2019-09-03 21:00:00 -0500
