LEAN IN

Greater Ottumwa Partners In Progress ( GOPIP ) is excited to announce the 2nd Annual Lean In Conference , a regional event coming to Bridge View Center in Ottumwa , IA on March 8 , 2024 .
Lean In is a diversity , equity , and inclusion event centered upon women , and passing the strength and wisdom of current women in leadership to those who will succeed them . GOPIP chose March 8th as the date of the conference for its significance as International Women ’ s Day .

With this event , their voices will uplift , inspire , and engage the future generations . In increasingly diverse communities , we welcome you and we see you , but importantly , we hear you .
“ We have worked very diligently to ensure that we are bringing not only an impactful event to our region , but one with some of the most successful leaders in our state from which those in attendance can learn ,” said Marc Roe , GOPIP
Executive Director . He continued , “ I firmly believe that in order to grow our communities , we must ensure that every person not only has a seat at the table , but an equal voice . It ’ s our goal with this conference for those up-and-comers in attendance and future generations alike to gain power and knowledge from this experience and forge a path to success in their careers and communities .”
According to GOPIP Director of Investor Relations and Chair of the Lean In event , Shea Greiner , “ This is an amazing opportunity for women in leadership in Iowa . It will be a fun , educational , and networking opportunity to find your circle and lean in .”
