It was hosted virtually from the Gerdin Business Building on Iowa State’s campus. And while different from the traditionally party-style event, it offered a unique opportunity to meet someone you didn’t know and learn from them via small breakout rooms on Zoom.
Angie Dethlefs-Trettin, the chief community impact officer at the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, graciously shared some summaries of the discussions in each of her two breakout rooms.
