Our very own Kimberly Weaver is an award finalist!!🥇

From 12 amazing semifinalists, meet the five Kauffman Uncommon Leader Impact Award finalists!

– Joel Barrett, Sr. Business Development Consultant, Small Business Development Center at UMKC (Missouri SBDC at UMKC)

The finalists illustrate significant impact for a Kansas City committed to communities, promise, and progress. This process started in June when the Foundation asked the local community for nominations to recognize everyday Kansas Citians doing extraordinary things to uplift their neighbors and neighborhoods. Three hundred nominations highlighted the people who are creating lasting change through bold and compassionate action. Now, we anxiously await the announcement of the KUL Impact Awardee during a celebration Dec. 11. The awardee will receive $50,000, personally, and $100,000 for their nonprofit organization. Congratulations to the nominees, semifinalists, and finalists as we continue to celebrate your impact and influence in Kansas City!

Today is Veterans Day and a reminder to give back to our Veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

2 Million Veterans are without health insurance. Navigating the VA comes with a long list of barriers and wait times. Our Veterans deserve health care, mental health care, housing, food, and more.

Our Community Health Workers can assist with navigating these barriers.

If you are a Veteran in need of assistance, please reach out to us at: wycohealth.com/gethelp

Our services are always no-barrier.
