The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. has announced its leadership breakfast will be held Friday, Oct. 1, with Marshall Stewart serving as the guest speaker.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the M.W. Jenkins Expo Center in Chillicothe. Stewart, Vice Chancellor for Extension and Engagement, University of Missouri and Chief Engagement Officer, UM System, will address the challenges and accomplishments in the recent past across Missouri. He restructured MU Extension and engagement work around Missourians’ grand challenges related to economic opportunity, educational access and excellence, and health and well-being. This aligns closely with the Community Foundation’s ongoing “regional vitality” initiative and its product, Maximize NWMO. Those in attendance will hear how the two initiatives dovetail and are partnering to enhance NWMO.
Each year the breakfast meeting has engaged between 200 and 300 regional leaders from a variety of industries alongside government officials.
Doors open at 8:15 a.m. with breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and the program from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Reservations are required and are $20 per person.
