The IMPACT for Women Summit is the signature event for the Women’s Fund of Southwest Iowa, an initiative of the Community Foundation for Western Iowa. The event is packed with dynamic conversations in the Women's Fund's four key focus areas supporting women and their families in our region. We invite you to be part of the excitement, starting with a morning discussion focused on the lived experiences of nationally recognized human trafficking expert, Rebecca Bender. The day continues with a discussion on aging in place in our rural communities, led by Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger, gerontologist and caregiving advocate at Honor and Home Instead. Tamara Brunow-Kowal, owner of Brunow Contracting, will discuss education and the role women play in the burgeoning commercial construction industry. Our day culminates with 6-time Olympic medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who shares her story of building her foundation in east St. Louis - a safe haven and learning-rich environment for area youth.
