@gq007ia @brucelee Hi @gq007ia interesting concept! Being in Iowa, I don't think our county name as such a strong tie to Robert E. Lee as the counties in the south. Love the "We are not trying to change our past, we are trying to improve our future," #forwardprogress

@brucelee @LeeCountyEDG can we get on board with this?

“We are not trying to change our past, we are trying to improve our future, and what better way than [to] use an inspiring, positive influential figure as our namesake.” -Brian Weaver nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

Love being part of the @STEM_SE_Iowa and supporting #stemscaleups! #growlee #futureworkforce facebook.com/52698978071761…
