Keynote Speaker for the event is international professional underwater photographer Alex Rose (who spoke during the 2019 event). Alex (pictured at left), of Chicago, will speak about how she infuses her talents, skills, and passions to make a difference for the world’s oceans. Ms. Rose is a biologist, diver, musician, and underwater photographer. She is the Science Editor of Ocean Geographic Magazine, the Managing Editor of Ocean Geographic Explorers, and Founder of ocean conservation company Blue Ring. Her goal is to find ways to protect our world’s precious marine habitats through diving, writing, photography, education, and research. Alex is a living example of the value of STEM. One of her underwater photos recently won the Judge’s Choice Award in this year’s Ocean Conservancy photo contest.
Admission to the event is $10 per person. Details about the starting time and how to purchase tickets will be announced soon. All proceeds, after event expenses, will go to Kimball Electronics Gives to fund grants awarded to eligible charities and organizations in our communities this fall. Since 2018, KE Gives has granted $33,000+ to various charities. KE Gives is a team of employees who voluntarily donate money to become a Partner for the calendar year.
