August 2025 Luncheon: Classroom to Career

Building Iowa’s Talent Pipeline where education meets innovation, and the future of Iowa’s workforce is shaped.

This high-impact lunch brings together top minds in education, business, and workforce development to discuss how we can better educate, retain, and attract the talent our state needs to thrive.

This year’s focus:

How do we shape Iowa’s education landscape to better align with evolving workforce demands? How can we address brain drain, enhance talent retention, and ensure Iowa is not just a place to grow up — but a place to grow careers? We’ll bring together top leaders from across the region to reflect, collaborate, and ignite bold ideas for the future of education and workforce development in our state.

Our expert panelist will speak on the following topics:

Innovative education models and partnerships
Workforce readiness and career pathways
Talent attraction and retention strategies
Keeping Iowa graduates and professionals rooted in the state
Creating a collaborative pipeline from classroom to career

We are all part of helping shape the future of education, workforce, and economic development in Iowa — Join us to inspire, collaborate, and move Iowa forward.
