Balanced Lives: Best Policies for the New Economy brought together experts from government, academia, business, and the community to explore ways to make our lives more rewarding in a sustainable way. This two-day symposium allowed participants to learn the opinion of leaders in the country and to voice their own perspectives on the topic.

 

This symposium was sponsored by the Forkenbrock Series on Public Policy at the Public Policy Center, and the Leisure Studies program in the Department of Health and Human Physiology, both at the University of Iowa.

The Forkenbrock Series provides a forum for dialogue about policy areas from applied, academic, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The series was established in honor of David Forkenbrock, a nationally recognized transportation researcher. Dr. Forkenbrock established the Public Policy Center at the University of Iowa in 1987 and directed the Center until 2007. His vision was to enable public and private sector decision makers to work with faculty, staff, and student researchers to explore solutions to complex problems related to the public interest.
