Employee Engagement
VGM Farm - Barn
Through humor and raw honesty, Faith & Four Letter Words aims to empower other women to find their voice and never apologize for using it. The duo of Tara Thomas and Amanda Goodman have what they call a “unicorn friendship.” One’s departure from the boys’ club was led by faith, the other was led by four-letter words.
Tara Thomas is the communications director for Waterloo Schools. For nearly 20 years prior, she was a television news anchor and reporter for KWWL in Waterloo and stations in Yakima, Washington, and Mason City, Iowa. Her Baby Steps blog chronicling her family’s ups and downs became a popular way for eastern Iowa viewers to connect with her.
Amanda Goodman is the executive director of Family & Children’s Council, an agency devoted to preventing child abuse. Because of her outspoken determination to keep every child safe, she was recently named Child Advocate of the Year. Amanda is an Emmy Award winning journalist who worked in television news for nearly two decades in four different states. She started writing a popular blog that pulls the rug out on community issues, motherhood, and being a woman constantly under the microscope.
The VGM Farm will open for the event at 5:30 p.m., with the 2-hour event starting at 6:30 p.m. Fun apparel is encouraged, but feel free to wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Cocktails and snacks will be available for everyone to enjoy.
