A public event to inspire change locally
Principal Financial Group® invites community members to its global headquarters in Des Moines on Thursday, March 7 for a conversation featuring The Thread Collectors authors Shaunna J. Edwards and Alyson Richman.
In honor of International Women’s Day, Principal® and Des Moines community sponsors, Chrysalis Foundation, Iowa Women’s Foundation, and Women Lead Change are hosting a discussion surrounding the powerful themes of the acclaimed book. The authors will discuss women’s relationships, bridge building, resilience to inspire social good, and inclusion.
“Principal is excited to welcome the authors of The Thread Collectors to Des Moines to recognize International Women’s Day as a community,” said Jo Christine Miles, director, Principal® Foundation and Principal Community Relations. “Consistent with commitment by Principal to valuing women and expanding access, this event will celebrate the resourcefulness and camaraderie of women, highlight the important role they have played in society – both now and throughout history -- and inspire continued progress.”
This event will weave, ravel, and stitch together the threads that connect women to inspire inclusion.
