Aspire Community Matters is the leading community educational and engagement forum in Johnson County. This event series features guest speakers, panel discussions and various community and government partners to spotlight opportunities and successes in community development. Past and future topics include housing, food sourcing, public transit, trails, parks, homelessness, income and wages, early childhood education and more.

Johnson County pioneered the annual Community Career + Education Forum (CCEF), which is a community forum tailored to introduce middle school students and their parents to local career opportunities in advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, and other technical fields.  Now in its 6th year, attendance tops 1,000 students, parents, educators, community partners, and volunteers. 

Representatives from the Endress+Hauser CCEF planning committee will present an overview and update on the Community Career and Education Forum this Wednesday.  The 2020 event date is set for Sept.17.
