“The Education committee is dedicated to fostering collaboration between businesses and educational institutions through a variety of initiatives. These efforts include coordinating events that connect the business community with local students, such as presentations to 8th-grade classes, and funding annual scholarships for the Show-Me Scholars & Tech Masters Program. The committee also supports community events like the annual Bulldog Pride Night, organizes Teacher Appreciation Day at local schools, and recognizes exceptional educators through the Chamber’s Outstanding Educator award. Meeting quarterly, the committee works to strengthen ties between education and the business community while supporting students, educators, and schools.”
