STRONG MINDS STRONG HEARTS “NEVER LOOK DOWN ON SOMEONE UNLESS YOU ARE HELPING THEM UP.” The Iowa Employment Conference takes pride in giving back. We believe it’s our duty. Each year we make a concerted effort to select a non-profit that supports our vision. The conference is designed to help individuals improve by giving them tools, making some connections and offering knowledge to grow. We buy into the fact that two heads are better than one. So common sense says, many hats are even better! By pooling our resources together, we leverage in scale and have been able to help the following organizations: Animal Rescue League Dress for Success Des Moines Habitat for Humanity Iowa Food Pantry Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Make A Wish Iowa Meals from The Heartland As we continue to grow our network, we will continue to serve as leaders in change by working with local non-profits and offering a hand. We hope you will support us in our efforts. Thank you!
