Kirkwood Community College will hold the annual Kirkwood Safety Conference, formerly the East Central Iowa Safety and Health Conference, on Feb. 22 at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center in Cedar Rapids.
Keynote speaker Scott Burrows is slated to give a presentation on the power of vision, mindset, and grit, all of which are characteristics that helped reinvent his life after a crippling accident.
