Join us for our largest event of the year! Chamber Annual Meeting Wednesday, December 4 - 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Sheraton Overland Park Hotel at the Convention Center, 6100 College Blvd. Registration deadline is noon on November 25 Registration details here: https://bit.ly/4eSStxk For our program, several community leaders will share examples of the ways finding common ground, coming together to maximize strengths and using innovation to solve problems can lead to business and community success. Collaboration Maximizes Strengths Three hospitality industry businesses joined forces to provide the community with a savory experience of local tastes and taps. Featuring Matt Britton, Discourse Brewing; Tyler Wigger, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue; and Steve Robson, Buffalo State Pizza Co. Innovation Maximizes Opportunity For years, leaders have worked to solve the growing safety, travel time reliability and congestion issues of the U.S. 69 Highway corridor through Overland Park. The 69Express project was the innovative solution in which public and private entities came together to add toll lanes that generate revenue to offset the monumental construction investment. Featuring City of Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog; Steve Hewitt, CPM, Kansas Turnpike Authority; Cameron McGown, P.E., HNTB; and Calvin Reed, Secretary of the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). Civility Maximizes Problem Solving Pastor Adam Hamilton shares the basis of Church of the Resurrection's “Do Unto Others” kindness campaign, which focuses on the positivity of being civil to others and finding common ground to overcome public and private differences. He also shares video clips of his interview with former members of Congress Kevin Yoder and Claire McCaskill in which they discuss what’s broken in politics and model how individuals from different parties can treat one another with respect. We’ll also recognize individuals making significant contributions to our community with the 2024 Rick Worrel Legacy Award and the OP Award.
