Past Professional Development Events
2021 Professional Development Event: Attorney Wellness Ethics
How does a lawyer's personal wellness connect to their ethical obligations as an attorney? Our virtual professional development event in 2021 featured a thought-provoking presentation addressing this question by local attorney and mental health advocate Tyler Coe. The presentation was approved for 1 hour of Iowa CLE credit relevant to attorney wellness.
2020 Professional Development Event: Increase Your Impact
PCWA and Iowa Women in Architecture (iaWia) partnered to present a panel to help us better understand need in our community and illuminate actions we can take to give back and support it. The event featured speakers from several organizations, including Emily Osweiler from the YMCA, Clara Bergan from Habitat for Humanity, and Susan Rathjen from Goodwill of Central Iowa.
