Public Service Symposium

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following:

• How do I reach out to or better communicate with local officials?
• How do I serve as an official at the local, city, state, or county level?
• How do I run for office?

If so, then join the Greater Des Moines Partnership, Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute, and Young Professionals Connection (YPC) for a Public Service Symposium. There will be a combination of panel discussions and keynote speakers to answer your questions. Learn more about joining the appropriate boards and commissions in your communities and engage in public service. Come prepared with your questions so that you can take full advantage of the speakers' wisdom and experience.

This will be a hybrid event. In-person attendance will be limited to 25 individuals total, including speakers.
