Hoping to keep her business afloat while lifting spirits through the COVID-19 pandemic, the owner of Cedar Rapids-based beauty company Pretty Lane has launched  the “It’s Pretty To Be Kind” campaign designed to put a smile on recipients’ faces — and some color on their lips.

Linda Barnes, CEO of Geonetric in Cedar Rapids, isn’t a big fan of the word “delegating.” Instead of delegating tasks to employees in the traditional sense, Barnes allows teams of employees at the marketing and software development company to choose which aspects of projects they’ll work on.

Lisa Dolphin and Suzie Johannes say they are on a mission to help families. They opened ProActive Pediatric Therapy back in November 2019 to give families living in the Cedar Rapids area more options when it comes to outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy for their children.
