Description

Anne Discher is executive director of Common Good Iowa, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization promoting public policies that advance opportunity for every Iowan. Advocating for change in the policy space is an exercise in persuasion. It requires bringing together data, stories and shared values to paint a picture of what is possible — and ultimately make your case to a sometimes skeptical audience. Anne will highlight the lessons she’s learned in the policy trenches on finding your voice and persuading others that will serve any woman well, personally or professionally. About Common Good Iowa Common Good Iowa engages Iowans to create and advocate for research-based public policy that makes life better and more equitable for all who make Iowa home. Our vision is a just, inclusive Iowa where public policies advance racial, gender, economic and climate justice. We envision a state where children and families are healthy and secure, workers thrive, and clean air and water contribute to a healthy future for all. https://www.commongoodiowa.org/
