"Empowering Iowa communities through weatherization, education, and outreach."I was responsible for learning and developing skills and techniques that could be implemented into our program which focused on sustainability and energy efficiency testing and training in diverse communities in the eastern corridor of Iowa. We had robust outreach programs that varied in the demographic we served from seniors to middle school program. I was responsible for planning andcoordinating home tests for clients throughout eastern Iowa, and helping them develop plans to improve overall efficiency.

I oversaw all aspects of daily operations, and acted as the primary point of contact for our affiliates. I prepared and analyzed company reporting, and organized data quarterly for board meetings and other assessments. I was responsible for planning and maintaining offices in new markets.

The purpose of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art is the collection, preservation, study, education, and display of comic and cartoon art. Every genre of the art is represented: animation, anime, cartoons, comic books, comic strips, gag cartoons, humorous illustration, illustration, political illustration, editorial cartoons, caricature, graphic novels, sports cartoons, and computer-generated art. Further, the museum's rigid collection policy ensures that the art collections are maintained in an environment of the highest integrity.It is the mission of the museum to promote the understanding and appreciation of comic and cartoon art as well as to detail and discuss the artistic, cultural, and historical impact of what is the world's most popular art form. Comics and cartoons have been instrumental in effecting significant dialogue on issues involving society, culture, philosophy, and politics. History has shown them to be instrumental in documenting--and interpreting--historic events and social change. Artistically, comic and cartoon art is created at the highest levels by some of the world's finest graphic illustrators.The main goal of the museum is to educate the public about comic and cartoon art, how it is crafted, and how it reflects history. What does the art tell us about the time period that it was created in? How does it stand the test of time? What First Amendment issues regarding content come into play? How does censorship determine what is (and isn't) published?
