Did you know that Iowa businesses have an opportunity to play an important role in the fight against human trafficking?

Join us for a special Learn Over Lunch featuring Iowa Secretary of State Paul D. Pate, who will introduce attendees to the Iowa Businesses Against Trafficking (IBAT) initiative.

Launched by Secretary Pate's office, IBAT brings businesses and organizations together with a shared commitment to raising awareness about human trafficking and taking steps to help prevent it.

During this informative luncheon, attendees will learn about the IBAT initiative, the importance of recognizing human trafficking, and ways businesses can educate their employees and support prevention efforts.

Whether you operate a small business, manage a large organization, or serve as a community leader, this session offers an opportunity to learn how you can contribute to a safer Iowa.

Be part of the conversation. Learn something. Do something.

We encourage chamber members, business owners, managers, nonprofit representatives, and community partners to attend.
