^{PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Colleen speaks publicly to a number of groups, ranging from school-aged children to business-professional-civic groups on two principal topics: ethical decision-making (and) balancing civil liberties with the need for effective investigation. She wrote a chapter on the latter topic for Patriotism, Democracy and Common Sense: Restoring America's Promise at Home and Abroad, a book published by the Milton Eisenhower Foundation.}

^{SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
As a Chief Division Counsel for the FBI's Minneapolis Division, Colleen was responsible for overseeing the Freedom of Information, Forfeiture, Victim-Witness and Community Outreach Programs as well as providing regular legal and ethics training to FBI Agents of the Division and some outside police training.  Rowley was named one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002 after she criticized the FBI for ignoring her calls to investigate terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.  In April 2003, following an unsuccessful attempt to warn the Director and other administration officials about the dangers of launching the invasion of Iraq, she "stepped down" from her legal position and returned to being an FBI Special Agent.  She retired from the Agency in 2004 and declared her intention to run for the U.S. Congress in 2005.  She graduated summa cum lade in 1977 from Wartburg College in Iowa and earned her J.D. with honors from the College of Law at the University of Iowa in 1980.}
