Speaker Series

Jul 21

North Platte Town Hall Lecture Series has been delivering cultural enrichment to Nebraska audiences since 1980.

AUDIENCE: 900 season-ticket holders (predominantly women)

LOCATION: North Platte, Nebraska

CHALLENGE: Deliver a captivating morning keynote and luncheon Q&A that would meet Town Hall’s reputation for insightful, inspiring programming.

CARA BROOKINS’ SOLUTION:

1-hour keynote: “Raise My Roof”
Media interview block and press coordination
2 hour Q&A discussion during a luncheon for extended community engagement

For more than four decades, the North Platte Town Hall Lecture Series has brought world-class speakers to the historic Neville Center. Cara Brookins’ appearance continued that legacy with “Raise My Roof,” a keynote weaving personal resilience with community action.

After an early media interview session, Cara addressed a sold-out audience of 900, illustrating how bold vision can transform personal adversity into communal strength. Her story inspired listeners to tackle local challenges, from mentoring youth to revitalizing neighborhoods.

The conversation deepened over a luncheon Q&A, where Cara fielded questions for two hours on leadership, perseverance, and practical steps to “raise the roof” on individual and civic goals. Attendees left energized, reaffirming the Lecture Series’ role as a catalyst for regional growth and dialogue.
