The Network wrapped up this year’s Civic Engagement Series with a visit to Good Samaritan Boys Ranch! 🌞 Learning how their team is making a HUGE impact in the lives of kids and young adults was truly inspiring.

Thank you to Oasis Hotel & Conv. Center, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member for hosting The Network’s final Social of the year! We wrapped up the season in style by enjoying the beautiful atrium, great company, and an epic nacho and dessert bar. 🤤 It was the perfect way to close out our Social series this year.

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.”
