Event Details:

Five years ago, the Business Record launched Fearless with a goal to empower Iowa women to succeed in work and life. Fearless Forward Event attendees will be active participants in fulfilling our mission: Together we will rise above current challenges by leaning into important conversations where everyone has a seat at the table, we will engage with passionate professionals and we will acknowledge our fears but move forward anyway. Guests will have the opportunity to hear from three inspiring speakers, participate in live content creation that will be featured in Fearless, partake in motivational exercises, and connect with others equally passionate about gender equity. Supporting this event is an investment in the future of the Fearless and all those who benefit from this initiative. Attendees will leave feeling encouraged to act fearlessly in their individual and collective pursuits to create a better world.

Speakers:

• Lalonyo AnyaCeng, owner – Cleaning for Hope
• Shanna Sieck, founder and board president – Mason's Light House
• LaDrina Wilson, founder and CEO – Iman Consulting
• Women of Influence Alum of the Year: Angela Franklin, President – Des Moines University

The elements of this brand can be simplified into one goal: We want to help empower Iowa women to succeed in work and life.
