Watch the video to hear about a FEW of the local boards and commissions YOU can join! 👀

This is just a snippet of what Network members learned at our most recent Civic Engagement event. The conversation focused on how to get involved in the community through local boards, commissions, and councils. Our panelists did a fantastic job breaking down common stigmas around public service and highlighting the powerful impact your voice can have when you care and speak up. 🗣️

A big thank-you to our Presenting Annual Program Sponsor, OMB Bank, for making events like this possible! And shoutout to our incredible panelists — Callie Carroll-Swaffoes ,Ryan Morris, Layne Austin Hunton, and the wonderful Cora Scott! 💫

We wrapped up this year’s Local Leadership Series with a bang and someone truly amazing: Stephanie O’Connor! 🎉

Her story is fueled by heart, hustle, and pride in the Springfield community. We loved getting to know the impact she’s making right here in the Ozarks. Her journey to becoming the leader she is today is just as inspiring! 🤩

Thanks for following along with us this year, and even more thanks to our Series Presenting Sponsor Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks, and Annual Program Presenting Sponsor OMB Bank.

🌰🍂 It’s National Black Walnut Month. Black Walnuts are more than just a bold earthy flavor found in your favorite ice creams and baked goods, they’re a symbol of tradition, sustainability, and community! Since 1946, Hammons Products Company in Stockton Missouri, the Black Walnut Capital of the World, has been shelling millions of pounds of wild Black Walnuts each year. From kitchen creations to industrial innovations and a legacy of community involvement, the Hammons family continues to honor a mission that’s as rich as the nut itself. Led by third generation president Brian Hammons, the company continues to honor its roots while looking toward the future by “Connecting People and Creating Memories with the Natural Goodness of Black Walnuts.”

It’s no surprise that Network members rocked it last week at our third Living in SGF Series event at the History Museum on the Square and the Historic Fox Theatre. 🤗 They teamed up for a scavenger hunt and faced off in trivia, with two groups coming out as winners!

Thank you Downtown Springfield for being the Series Presenting Sponsor and OMB Bank for being our Annual Program Sponsor. 😊🏆

Nothing like fresh air and great company! This group of YP’s quickly learned that even with the right shoes and attire, uphill trail walking is no joke.

Last week, The Network’s Leadership Council wrapped up their final Roundtable lunch with the Chamber Board! These gatherings create a powerful feedback loop between emerging young professionals and seasoned leaders. 🤝

In addition to these Roundtables, Council members are paired with Board members for a year-long mentorship program. This is what building the future of our community looks like. 💼🌟
