We are honored to share that Brad Speaks was recently elected to the Board of Directors of the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library.

Public service and community involvement have long been central to Mr. Speaks’ life and work. Over the years, he has served alongside many dedicated individuals across a wide range of organizations. This new role is especially meaningful, not only because of the importance of presidential libraries nationwide, but because of what the Truman Library represents right here in our community.

President Harry S. Truman remains one of Independence’s most respected and recognizable figures. The opportunity to help preserve and promote his legacy, while supporting an institution of national significance in our hometown, is a true privilege.

Please join us in congratulating Brad on this well-deserved honor as he continues his commitment to serving the community.
