I am happy to announce that we officially have a keynote speaker for our 3rd Annual Iowa Secularists Conference. Lori Lipman Brown, the Director of the Secular Coalition for America, will be joining us as our keynote speaker.

“Lori Lipman Brown is a former Nevada State Senator, private practice lawyer and law professor. Her legislative record in the arenas of public education, mental health care and the repeal of consensual sex crimes resulted in her being named Civil Libertarian of the Year by the Southern Nevada chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and Legislator of the Year by the Nevada chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Brown has been a frequent political commentator on television and radio and a regular columnist in a variety of print media.”
