The Des Moines Moxie Exchange Movement, a leadership and professional development group where businesswomen come together to learn, connect, collaborate and grow, is launching its 2015-16 cohort on Oct. 20 in Des Moines with a meeting at the Mickle Center Education Room, 1620 Pleasant St., just west of Iowa Methodist Medical Center. “We are responding to women who wish to participate but needed a lunch hour time as well as a session that is 90 minutes,” said Moxie Executive Brooke Benschoter. “Same great tools and women just less time commitment.” To register for the introductory session, click here.
