SUMMARY:Immigration & Business Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Join the Catherine McAuley Center for our third annual fundraiser honoring the contributions refugees and immigrants make to a thriving community! Guests will have the opportunity to connect\, reflect\, and contribute to our mission that provides opportunities for newcomers to thrive in Eastern Iowa. The event features a keynote speaker and the presentation of the Immigration & Business Awards. Prior to the luncheon\, a morning refugee simulation will be held. This immersive experience is designed to help participants better understand some of the difficult choices refugees may face on their resettlement journey. \nOur keynote speaker this year is Rekha Basu. For 30 years\, Rekha’s syndicated columns on national and local issues related to race\, gender\, immigration\, and social justice were staples in The Des Moines Register\, where her work still appears on occasion. She has been an on-air guest of TV hosts Tom Brokaw\, Rachel Maddow\, Gwen Ifill\, and CNN International’s Richard Quest. \n
