The Iowa City Foreign Relations Council continues its long election-year tradition of inviting political candidates from every party to speak at our luncheons. This program features the first candidate of those who participated. Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is the Republican nominee in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District, encompassing 15 counties in eastern Iowa. Dr. Miller-Meeks retired with an honorable discharge as a Lt. Colonel after 24 years in the United States Army. After years of serving as an ophthalmologist in Ottumwa, Iowa, Mariannette left her practice in 2008, but continues to serve others by volunteering her time and medical services at a free health clinic for families who have fallen on hard times. The Iowa City Foreign Relations Council (ICFRC) is a non-profit community organization that seeks to promote understanding of international issues by hosting community forums with informed speakers from around the world. ICFRC is housed within and supported in part by International Programs at the University of Iowa. International Programs, your global intersection, connects students, faculty, staff, and the Iowa community to the world. Visit the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council onlinefor more information.
