With just a handful of key concepts, Changemakers can enable change in an organization in a way that protects business interests, empowers people, and simplifies the process. Join us in this session to learn more.

Changemakers are the individuals who put the good of the organization first, make authentic human connection, and consistently treat change as a process, not an event. They make things happen.

More often than not, though, Changemakers get stuck. There’s not enough budget. Our projects keep falling behind. We rarely stick to a change when we propose one. Someone is always upset about an initiative. Is there a better way? Yes!

This jam packed and engaging session will give you the tools and techniques for a better way…

• For change
• To get more done
• To bring people along

By attending this course, participants will:

• Gain tools to help you improve your influence
• Encounter a simple, easy-to-apply model for talking about one of the most disruptive forces at work
• Enable you to identify and empower changemakers around you

Home for the Holidays brings you the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas. This special event for the whole family features amazing vendors, great shopping, Character meet-and-greets, square-wide activities, and so much more. We end the evening with our must-see Lighted Parade. This community event will fill your heart with joy.

On November 22nd, during the Home for the Holidays event on Indianola Downtown Main Street, the Indianola Chamber is hosting the annual Holiday Lighted Parade. We want to make this the best lighted parade ever! We are asking YOU to sign your organization up to be a part of the parade! Here are the details for the event:

• Parade Time: The parade will kick off at 7:30 p.m., and participants should start lining up at 7:00 p.m. at Tru Value to ensure a smooth start.
• Parade Route: The route begins south on Howard, turns west on Salem, heads north on Buxton, and will conclude at the Administration Building.
• Float Requirements: Participants provide a parade entry, and we encourage floats, vehicles, and even decorated people! The only requirement is that your entry is creatively decorated with lights to illuminate the parade route. Please no throwing hard candy from elevated areas.
• Candy and Treat: Feel free to bring your own candy or treats to distribute to the excited onlookers. It’s a great way to spread holiday joy!
• Competition: To add an extra element of fun, there will be prizes for various categories. Let your creativity shine, and you might be a winner!
• Who Can Participate: Parade participants don’t have to be businesses – everyone is welcome to join in the holiday spirit!

Let’s come together to make “Home for the Holidays” a memorable event for our community!
