Cultural awareness has leapt to the forefront of society spurred by protests and marches over the summer.
The impact of ensuring that awareness extends into private business cannot be understated as demographics continue to change. Training to stay ahead of the curve is being offered by the City of Iowa City in ZOOM training from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9.
