Crossroads Exhibition at the Brick City Gallery

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:28:27 +0000

Crossroads invites you to reflect. As our local community honors its historic role in the centennial celebration of Route 66, Crossroads asks you to consider perspectives that are often not acknowledged in the story of Route 66 and in the larger narrative of our country.

Working within the tension of being rooted to place and generations of displacement, works from Molly Murphy Adams, Mona Cliff, and Natani Notah collectively explore the intertwining of culture, identity, and histories of Native women living and working in the Midwest.

The Brick City Gallery will be open Tuesday - Friday, 11a.m.- 6 p.m. August 4-14 and Monday - Friday, 11a.m. - 6 p.m. August 17- September 18.

The BCG will host two receptions during First Friday Art Walk, Friday, August 7 from 6-8 p.m. and Friday, September 4, 6-9 p.m.

OHRC Presentation - A Road Trip into America's Hidden Heart

Thu, 9 Apr 2026 17:30:01 +0000

A presentation on A Road Trip into America's Hidden Heart presented by John Drake Robinson at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center, WPCA, and Missouri Humanities. Refreshments provided.

John Robinson, a former Missouri director of tourism, puts a different spin on the traditional road trip. Over 13 years, he drove every mile of every road on the Missouri state highway map. With an irreverent sense of humor--Robinson compares his unconventional journey to mowing a 68,000-square-mile lawn—he and his car (his only constant companion on this odyssey) discover the real America beyond the interstate. Real people. Obscure places. Forgotten facts. Whether he's uncovering tombstone histories or sitting down to a blue plate lunch, Robinson relays his encounters in a relaxed storytelling style.

John Robinson comes from a family of teachers. And they taught him to be observant. They just didn’t realize what he would end up studying. In a bizarre experiment that lasted 13 years, he drove every mile of every road on his state highway map. In three insightful books, he recorded what he saw. Together, John and his car, Erifnus Caitnop, traveled throughout Missouri, a 250,000-mile journey to discover the real America beyond the interstate. Real people. Obscure places. Forgotten stories. His journey unfolds in Missouri, but it could be about any state, any traveler who drives into America’s hidden heart.

John's 300+ articles have appeared in many magazines–including Missouri Life, Rural Missouri and Show Me Missouri Magazine. His newest book, Souls Along the Road, continues the “road trip” revelations of his earlier works: A Road Trip Into America's Hidden Heart, and Coastal Missouri. He won an Emmy Award for the series, Finding Wild Missouri, produced by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

OHRC Presentation - Walls Engraved Pottery by Toney Aid

Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:13:37 +0000

A presentation on Walls Engraved Pottery presented by Toney Aid at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, September 15, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center and WPCA. Refreshments provided.

Toney received a master’s degree in art history in 1973 from the University of Missouri. In 1990 his friend Roy Hathcock, a member of the Cherokee Tribe who had published two volumes on Native American pottery, encouraged Toney to research pottery made during the Mississippian period, 1200 – 1700 AD. Toney’s library now holds over 1,000 volumes and 2,000 journals. He has published several articles on the subject and has a new book out, Walls Engraved Pottery.

Toney's description of the presentation -- My talk describes how I assembled information on all known examples of Walls Engraved pottery. It was made by Indigenous people living in the Missouri bootheel and NE Arkansas during Mississippian times, AD 1200 – 1700. The talk will discuss a wide range of engraved pottery, the images on them, and why it is important to study them. They introduce us to the way Mississippian people viewed their world, ideas that are important for everyone in today’s world.

Ozarks Studies Symposium

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:34:18 +0000

Commemorating the Route 66 Centennial and America 250, The Gallery at the Center on the mezzanine level of the West Plains Civic Center presents a fine art perspective of the "Mother Road" as it traverses the Ozarks. By focusing on this specific regional segment, the photographs tell a regional tale that reflects the broader American experience along the historic route. The exhibit is sponsored by the WPCA.

These images by Chuck Davis are on view from Saturday, September 12 to October 18

Chuck Davis, an Arkansas Artist Fellow (2025), has spent four decades photographing Route 66 from end to end. His award-winning work has been exhibited at major venues such as MASS MoCA and Mount Sequoyah’s Creative Spaces, and recently appeared in the Oxford American. He operates the only daylight tintype studio in the Ozarks on the grounds of the abandoned city of Electric Springs, Arkansas.

Refreshments will be served, and the artist will be available to discuss the exhibit.

Building Leadership Excellence: A LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Based Workshop

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:35:22 +0000

Are you ready to unlock your leadership potential through hands-on discovery and creative thinking? This innovative 4-hour workshop uses the proven LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology to help leaders at all levels gain deeper insights into their leadership style, strengths, and growth opportunities.

Through guided building exercises and structured reflection, participants will construct their understanding of effective leadership while literally building their vision for leadership excellence. This highly interactive approach moves beyond traditional training methods, enabling leaders to think with their hands and articulate complex leadership concepts in new and meaningful ways.

What Makes This Program Unique:

Successful participants will:

Construct Their Leadership Identity – Build and explore their current leadership strengths through hands-on exercises that reveal core leadership values and approaches
Design Leadership Excellence – Create three-dimensional models representing the elements of effective leadership and identify the key characteristics that distinguish outstanding leaders
Build a Bridge to Growth – Construct their aspirational leadership vision and develop concrete action steps to bridge the gap between current state and future potential

Benefits of Attending:

Leave this session with a clear understanding of your leadership strengths, a concrete vision for your leadership growth, and a practical action plan you can implement immediately. The hands-on nature of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method ensures that insights gained are memorable, meaningful, and actionable. You’ll also develop new techniques for creative problem-solving and communication that you can apply in your leadership role.

Who Should Attend:

Current leaders, supervisors, managers, and high-potential employees preparing for leadership roles. No prior experience building with LEGO® bricks is required – just come ready to think, build, and grow as a leader.

Public Affairs Conference | Pre-Conference Event | Missouri State University: Impactful Community-Employer Partnerships

Wed, 5 Aug 2026 18:31:52 +0000

Universities increasingly operate within complex networks of public, private, and nonprofit partners, making collaboration a central feature of modern public affairs. University partnerships can be a driver of economic growth, innovation, and talent development. Universities are in a unique position in that they serve as a hub of experts with specialties covering a wide variety of sectors. Examples range from top secret military contracts to experiential learning opportunities with local businesses.

Several questions arise from this shifting focus towards interdisciplinary community collaboration. How can universities balance their academic independence with the practical needs and expectations of external partners? What distinguishes a truly reciprocal partnership from a transactional one? What governance structures or agreements are most effective in sustaining long-term partnerships? How can universities manage conflicts of interest that may arise when partnering with private industry or political entities? What role should students play in partnership initiatives, and how can their involvement be made meaningful rather than symbolic? How do resource disparities between institutions and community organizations affect partnership dynamics?

This this special pre-conference panel event as it will explore the evolving role of university partnerships in advancing research, policy innovation, community engagement, and workforce development. Guest panelists will examine how cross-sector collaborations can generate mutual value while also navigating challenges related to governance, equity, funding, and institutional mission and highlight practical strategies for building sustainable partnerships that extend beyond transactional relationships.

About the Public Affairs Conference

Dates: Sept. 29-Oct. 2

The theme for the 2026 conference is The We Factor: Building Connections That Matter.
Community engagement begins with choosing “we” over “me.” It’s about creating social capital through meaningful connections - it’s people talking, listening, and working together toward a shared goal. It means actively contributing to the health and progress of the places we live and serve. Through intentional engagement, communities grow stronger and more resilient, one connection at a time.

About Rainn Wilson

As one of the co-founders of SoulPancake, Rainn Wilson has spent years exploring the ways we all seek connection, hope, truth, identity, and purpose. Dedicated to stimulating your brain, sparking your soul, and figuring out what it means to be human, Wilson and the SoulPancake team oversaw the creation of a decade-plus of award-winning content spanning digital, television, branded, and live engagements, until its acquisition by Participant Media in 2016. Wilson has continued on in the spirit of SoulPancake's mission in the years since, urging audiences to dig deep into life's biggest questions — of philosophy, creativity, spirituality, love, truth, science, mental health and so much more — with humor and honesty.

Rainn is an Emmy-nominated and SAG award-winning actor best known for playing the inimitable “Dwight Schrute” for nine seasons on NBC’s The Office. He recently wrapped Lessons in Chemistry with Brie Larson for Apple TV+ and the unscripted travel series Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, which aired on Peacock in May of 2023.

He stars in Jerry & Marge Go Large , with Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening; Utopia for Amazon; Roger Michell's Blackbird, opposite Kate Winslet; The Meg alongside Jason Statham; Star Trek: Discovery; Hesher, opposite Natalie Portman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; James Gunn’s Super, with Kevin Bacon and Elliot Page; Cooties opposite Elijah Wood; Juno; Galaxy Quest; and Almost Famous.

He has an MFA from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts and spent 10 years doing theatre in NYC before moving to LA. He was on Broadway in The Tempest with Patrick Stewart, and the Tony nominated London Assurance. Rainn performed the critically acclaimed one-person monologue Thom Pain (Based on Nothing) at The Geffen; and was the lead role in the political farce The Doppelganger at Steppenwolf Theater.

Rainn founded the digital media company, Soul Pancake (3.5 mil subscribers on YouTube). He is the author of The Bassoon King and the NYT best-selling SoulPancake: Chew on Life’s Big Questions. His newest book — another NYT best-seller — Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution was released in April 2023.

Public Affairs Conference | Civil Discourse: Helping Build Trust, Skills and Community

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:47:58 +0000

In an era of rising political polarization (Kimball 2020) and widespread student support for open dialogue and diverse perspectives in higher education (Gallup 2016), how can universities and communities better foster the skills and venues for civil discourse? Civil discourse is the practice of relationally deliberating on matters of public concern with others in a way that seeks to develop knowledge and foster mutual understanding. Research shows that having these skills cultivates empathy as well as moderates extreme views and encourages understanding (Gurin et al. 2013; Jackson 2021). What are the component skills of civil discourse? What are the benefits of identifying common ground and seeking understanding in political conversations and other areas of life? How can civil discourse help build stronger, more connected communities to mitigate “Us vs. Them”?

Public Affairs Conference | Working Together to Shape Travel Places People Love

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:00:47 +0000

Travel destinations don’t just happen — they’re built together. Governments, local businesses, community groups, residents, and travelers all play a role, each bringing their own ideas, resources and skills to the table. When these groups work as a team, tourism can become more inclusive, creative, and sustainable.

The future of tourism depends on collaboration. That means finding ways for different voices and priorities to line up around shared goals. But how does that work in real life? How can all the stakeholders build partnerships that are fair, flexible, and built to last? What is the balance between economic growth with environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and community well-being? And how can working together help destinations adapt to big challenges—like climate change, overcrowded hotspots, and constantly shifting travel trends—while staying strong and welcoming for both locals and visitors?

Creating better travel places isn’t about one group leading the way. It’s about collaboration, balance, and resilience—so everyone benefits, now and in the future.

Public Affairs Conference | Centering Community Means Decentering Self

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:01:20 +0000

We are all susceptible to falling into “main character” syndrome (the belief that one’s personal, immediate, and individualistic view is the only or most important reality). Intentionally shifting focus away from one’s ego fosters deeper appreciation and value for others – leading to more authentic relationships and putting action into community connections. What is the impact to self and community if only focused on oneself? How can social awareness create community impact? What strategies can be used to help bridge social capital to expand community ties and a collective sense of belonging? Are people willing to be inconvenienced a lot, a little, or at all in order to strengthen community and advance noble causes?

Public Affairs Conference | Protecting Public Trust: AI and Digital Literacy

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:01:43 +0000

Community engagement requires relationships, empathy, and shared responsibility. Yet, digital spaces often reward outrage, certainty, and division. As generative AI transforms the creation and circulation of information, it also expands the reach and impact of misinformation and disagreement on what is real. From education to civic resilience, how is digital literacy improved, trusted communication channels rebuilt, and the integrity of public dialogue protected? How is generative AI changing the scale and sophistication of misinformation? What strategies help communities rebuild trust in shared facts and sources? How can leaders create space for disagreement without community breakdown? What roles do schools, libraries, local media, and community leaders play? How can technology be used to strengthen, not fracture, the public square?

Public Affairs Conference | We Move; I Adapt: Military Family Experiences Shaping College Success

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:02:35 +0000

Imagine moving every two to three years, leaving friends behind, and navigating a new school each time, this is the reality for military-connected students, where the strength of “We” meets the growth of “Me”. Students who are military-connected navigate unique challenges shaped by frequent relocations, parental deployments, and the demands of service life. While not easy, these experiences can foster resilience, adaptability, and a strong sense of collective identity (“We”), while simultaneously shaping individual growth (“Me”). How can the advantages and disadvantages be better mitigated for K-12 and college level students? What strategies may be needed for flexible institutional resources. Integrating the unique military family experience, how can educational institutions foster and promote their educational success and well-being?

Public Affairs Conference | Back to Basics: Third Places and Shared Humanity

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:02:12 +0000

Despite living in an age of constant connectivity, loneliness is on the rise. Political and social division, the COVID19 pandemic, gentrification, and other community level stressors have contributed to the loss of third places—the informal, accessible gathering spaces beyond home and work where relationships, trust, and social capital are built. When these spaces are not utilized, communities can become more fragmented, and opportunities become diminished for individuals to connect, especially with those different than oneself. What impact does social connection have on quality of life at the individual level and on societies as a whole? Can learning emotional intelligence and conversation skills play a positive role in the home, workplace and elsewhere? How can communities reimagine and reinvest in spaces where meaningful social connections can be formed and social capital grow—especially that invites belonging and dialogue across persistent divisions and group boundaries?

Public Affairs Conference | I, YOU, WE – Helping Gen Z Build Community in the Workplace

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:03:11 +0000

DEVLEOP YOUR PROFESSIONAL COURAGE!

The world of work is rapidly changing, but a constant is the desire for community in the workplace. People want to feel heard, fulfilled by the work they’re doing, and supported by dependable colleagues. They want to feel motivated to show-up and give their best each day. The secret is that great workplace communities don’t just happen; they are the result of each team member intentionally putting in regular effort to be their best selves and teammates.

Follow the “I-YOU-WE” model:

“I”: get clear on your energy, values, priorities. How do they affect how you show-up each day?

“YOU”: overcome any cringe and lean into curious conversations to help you understand and connect with individual members of your team.

“WE”: as a collective, come together to create and understand your team mission and goals and those of the greater organization and create plans to achieve them together.

Don't miss this powerful message that will help you feel empowered and more in control of your workplace experience. You will know how to create the community you want in any work setting now and in the future!

Public Affairs Conference | From Neighborhoods to Networks: Connecting Pathways for Families of Students with Disabilities

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:03:30 +0000

Families are essential partners in supporting students with disabilities, yet navigating education, healthcare, employment, recreation, and advocacy systems can be overwhelming. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2025), approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States has a developmental disability. Initiatives and practical approaches continue to be explored for connecting families to integrated supports. How can schools and families work together to support students’ long-term success? What strategies help bridge gaps between school services and local, national, and global resources? Which models better align school initiatives with community organizations, promote informed decision-making, and strengthen collaboration across neighborhoods, campuses, and broader networks?

Public Affairs Conference | Why Your Story Matters

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:03:55 +0000

As human beings, we all carry a story shaped by moments of change, challenge or growth and too often underestimate its power. Why do personal stories resonate so strongly in ways that data or messaging alone cannot? How do personal stories help people better understand themselves, build confidence and open doors to a deeper connection with others? When shared with intention, how can lived experiences build trust, belonging and empathy across differences? In what ways can personal, authentic storytelling be used to strengthen relationships in classrooms, workplaces and communities?

Public Affairs Conference | Standing Together While Standing Out: A New Vision for Health Sciences Teams

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:04:23 +0000

NBA legend Michael Jordan once said, "There is no 'I' in Team, but there is in win." This quote highlights the tug and pull we feel when striving for individual success while balancing the needs of the teams that we are on. As we think about the health sciences, how do we balance the desire to excel individually by balancing the needs of the team? Whether we are in the fields of sports, recreation, physical education, healthcare, social work, psychology, or exercise, we face choices that can benefit us but hurt our team, and vice versa. Therefore, what does it take to be a true team player? Is winning/achievement all that matters? Is a team as strong as its weakest link? How do we create healthy environments that put our egos aside for the greater good of the individuals we serve?

Public Affairs Conference | “I Don’t Have a Culture”: Breaking Down the Idea of Culture

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:04:49 +0000

In most everyday conversations, the idea of culture is often reduced to only nationality or ethnicity. Scholars in the field, however, all have varying definitions that reflect deeper aspects of humanity that define culture and its expression in groups. What are the factors that would make one feel that they do not have a culture? What impact can our understanding of culture have on our communities when explored beyond the surface of what is visible and easily identifiable? To what extent does one's understanding of culture impact the development and perception of self and community? How can exploring our understanding of culture pave the way to meaningful connections?

Public Affairs Conference | Kickball: Building Community Through Play

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:10:15 +0000

Imagine a dozen neighborhoods and civic organizations from the north side, south side, east, and west, all competing in a single elimination tournament trophy, “the Bobbi”, a simple bronzed sneaker screwed to the top of a walnut block of wood.? More than 250 people, from children to old-timers, families and individuals, 150+ players, coaches, umpires, announcers, organizers, community activists, and city official…all coming together, talking, playing, cheering, horsing around, and kicking it on a breezy April Sunday afternoon.

The real trophy is building community. For seven years, that has been the legacy of SGFKickball! SGFKickball is a Neighborhoods USA award-winning community development program and organization that promotes belonginess, fun, fitness, and cooperative competition.

Hear the story of a successful social event that became a larger-than-life entity bringing people together. Let’s get out there and get kicking!

Public Affairs Conference | Science in Partnership: Bridging Human and Machine Capabilities

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:10:39 +0000

Linking human and machine capabilities means working toward a partnership where technology supports and strengthens what people can do, instead of replacing them. When used well, this teamwork can help accelerate the process of information, expand the impact of projects, and bridge the gap between experts and citizens through transparency and community partnership. This can lead to more effective monitoring, informed decisionmaking, problem-solving and policy creation, especially concerning AI in the Physical and Applied Sciences. Humans and machines each bring different strengths to this partnership. How are these strengths best leveraged to maximize the machine’s precision, speed and data analysis without losing the ability for individual critical thinking, ethical judgement and recognition of potential biases? To address these challenges, how must AI be regulated for access, safety, fairness, privacy and accountability? What are potential economic, workforce and societal implications that effect both the scientific fields and the communities they serve?

Public Affairs Conference | Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:12:00 +0000

Join writer and civic advocate Pete Davis for an inspiring exploration of how genuine community and meaningful connection can transform our lives—during college and long after graduation. Drawing from his acclaimed book Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing and his award-winning 2023 documentary Join or Die, Davis offers a powerful call to action: to move beyond passive participation and become active contributors to the communities that shape us.

Through engaging storytelling and thought-provoking research, Davis will challenge students to invest deeply in the people and places around them, to step outside their familiar circles, and to embrace the commitments that give life purpose. His insights illuminate our theme, The We Factor: Building Connections that Matter, and invite attendees to reflect on how intentional engagement can strengthen both personal growth and the broader social fabric.

This is a session for anyone seeking inspiration, direction, and a renewed sense of what it means to belong. Don’t miss the chance to be part of a conversation that could reshape how you think about community—and your role within it.

Public Affairs Conference | Seeing Through Another Lens: Empathy, Perspective, and Connection

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:12:57 +0000

In a society marked by polarization, cultural complexity, and rapid social change, empathy and perspective-taking are essential. But, these traits require attention, discipline, and courage. Engaging with those who are different than oneself is a powerful act and can strengthen community, deepen a shared sense of purpose, and improve reasoning and creativity. In turn, this helps to understand the out-group, practice intellectual humility (admission that we might be wrong), and enhance a collaborative capacity for progress. Why does it seem harder to practice empathy in today’s social and political climate than in the past? What techniques can boost empathy and perspective-taking in our daily lives? How is individual expression practiced for meaningful dialogue? What environment is needed to begin bridging divides?

Public Affairs Conference | Food as a Public Good: Agriculture’s Role in Strengthening Communities

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:12:34 +0000

Agriculture is not only an industry, but an essential civic infrastructure for communities across the world. Food systems influence public health, economic stability, education, and democratic engagement. Examining agriculture through the lens of public affairs, it highlights how producers, policymakers, researchers, and community leaders share responsibility for building resilience and equitable food systems. Who benefits from and who is left out of our current food systems? How can the agriculture industry intentionally build trust with communities? What does shared responsibility look like in food production and access? How do we create systems that reflect “we,” not just “me”?

Public Affairs Conference | People, Science and Connected Systems

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:13:43 +0000

Building resilient communities requires understanding the complex connections between natural systems and human decision-making. Connecting land, water, wildlife, and community plays a critical role in addressing environmental challenges while strengthening collaboration and shared responsibility. As environmental change accelerates, interdisciplinary approaches will help translate science into action that benefits both people and the environments they depend on. What role does interdisciplinary research play in shaping sustainable planning and resource stewardship? How can scientific knowledge inform everyday actions and local decision-making? In what ways can scientists, practitioners, and community members work together? How can collaborative environmental science foster stronger connections between communities and the landscapes they inhabit?

Public Affairs Conference | Crisis to Comeback: How Empty Shelves Ushered in a New Industrial Logic

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:13:16 +0000

Panic buying and structural bottlenecks during the COVID-19 pandemic acted as an initial shock to the world, exposing how deeply local and global supply chains are tied to community well-being. Six years later, this initial shock has matured into a fundamental, structural shift in production, driving significant reshoring and "nearshoring" initiatives. This shift is fueled by a desire to shorten supply chains, improve quality, and enhance responsiveness to local communities and those across the globe. What initiatives can reconnect production with local and regional communities, and how can they affect building stronger relationships with local workforces and institutions? What are the impacts of stricter international regulations on labor and environmental standards, trade volatility, and digital transformation having on "just-in-time" to "just-in-case" business planning strategies? How do businesses and community unite for stability, workforce sustainability, and long-term regional resilience alongside economic performance?

Public Affairs Conference | Who Are Our Playmates? Community Building Through Play

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:55:12 +0000

You were born to play and are wired from birth to engage in social play. From our first interactions with our caregivers, to playing childhood games, trivia nights and team sports in adulthood, play brings us together. As humans, we thrive on these connections to each other. An 80-year-long Harvard Study of Adult Development (2023) found that people who are more socially connected to family, friends, and community, are happier, physically healthier, and live longer than people who are less well connected. By encouraging openness, trust building, and shared joy, play helps create and deepen meaningful relationships. How might play serve as a bridge across geography, socioeconomics, and cultural factors such as urban-rural divides in a bid to build and strengthen our communities? What role could schools, workplaces, or community organizations play in promoting connection through play?

Public Affairs Conference | Where the Arts Become Community

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:54:03 +0000

Our cities are living studios and stages—spaces where creative expression, civic life, and democratic ideals intersect. The arts are laboratories of imagination and dialogue, where ideas are explored, challenged, and reimagined in public. By using artistic practice and education to spark conversation, reflection, and solutions, the impact on communities can be vibrant, innovative, and forward-thinking. As artists and students move from training into professional and civic roles, opportunities emerge not only to lead creatively, but to inspire and empower others to see themselves as active cultural stakeholders. How can thoughtful dialogue, multiple perspectives, and even disagreement be essential to a healthy arts ecosystem? What does it look like when creativity becomes a shared responsibility? How might deeper dialogue and collaboration help our communities thrive? How can creative expression help communities imagine new possibilities and address shared challenges?

Public Affairs Conference | Catching Community: Throw. Catch. Repeat.

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:14:29 +0000

Playing catch is more than just a simple game—it’s a shared experience that brings people together across generations and backgrounds. With every throw and catch, these actions can help build relationships and a stronger sense of community by developing trust, empathy, encouraging curiosity and strengthening relational connections. In small, repeated moments, playing catch reminds us what it means to be human, and, just like all of life, is an adventure that is supposed to be shared.

Emotional Intelligence: The Ingredient for Effective Leaders

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:55:33 +0000

Emotional Intelligence has been identified as the single most important competency for effective leadership. According to Dan Goleman’s ground-breaking book,”Nothing else, including gender, education, geographic area, age, or hours worked came as close to predicting success as did emotional competencies.” Competencies “that have been identified in internal research at hundreds of corporations and organizations as distinguishing outstanding performers.” Self-control is a vital ingredient for a meaningful, satisfying life. Productive relationships can either flourish or wither as a result of our ability, or inability, to exert control over our behavior. By first understanding how emotions influence our behavior, we can prevent negative emotions from driving us to behaviors we later regret.

Successful participants will:

Gain insight into Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences and the truth behind the saying, “What matters most is not how smart you are, but how you are smart.”
Take a measure of their own current level of Emotional Intelligence
Revisit past situations they may regret and apply a step-by-step process to strengthen their own EI proactive “muscle,” in order to prevent similar instances in the future
Describe the importance of exercising “integrity in the moment of choice,” to choose responses that align with their goals when faced with adverse circumstances.
Practice Emotional Intelligence behaviors in order to create positive outcomes in spite of negative emotions.

The Power of Positive Teams

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:48:29 +0000

Many organizations are feeling pressure due to the increased competition for talent, having fewer people to keep up, and operating in a constant state of change. As a lack of connection deteriorates team culture and engagement, remaining positive and avoiding the doom-and-gloom forecasts can be challenging. Building a positive, people-first culture can help you tell (and create) a different story: that the best is yet to come for your organization.

The Power of Positive Teams workshop will help you build a stronger, more united, and connected team culture fueled by a shared vision and purpose. Heath Alloway will use proven principles, shared strategies, and best practices from the Wall Street Journal Bestselling Book by Jon Gordon.

What You’ll Learn:

• Ways to help your team become more cohesive, committed and creative.
• Strategies to maintain optimism through adversity and change.
• Best practices to transform negativity.
• Proven practices to build trust and team chemistry.
• Practical ways to have difficult conversations.
• How to overcome common pitfalls that cause teams to fail.
• Solutions to enhance a team’s creativity, grit, innovation and growth.

Supervision Boot Camp: Leadership Series (4-Day Program)

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:45:01 +0000

Supervisors today face a world of tremendous change and challenge. This program is designed for new and experienced supervisors and managers who want to keep their knowledge and skill consistent with, or a step ahead, of the demands of the work place. The Supervision Boot Camp: Leadership Series has been designed to build skills in the basic competencies that supervisors need most in leading employees to greater individual, team, and organizational performance.

The Supervision Boot Camp is aimed primarily at supervisors, group leaders, and lead persons who have little formal training in effectively leading the work of others. Experienced supervisors will find this Supervision Boot Camp helpful in updating leadership skills and practices. This program is also recommended as an excellent preparation for those expecting to assume supervisory responsibilities in the future. The two Supervision Boot Camps taken together (Frontline and Leadership Series) can also serve as the core course requirement for the SBDC’s 60-Hour Supervision & Talent Certificate. Those completing this Boot Camp will develop skills in the following competency areas key to successful supervision and leadership of others:

Leadership Series Competencies:

• Moving From Supervisor to Leader
• Change Leadership Strategies
• Making Teams Effective
• Aspects of Negotiation
• Bargaining Strategies
• Effective Delegation
• Continuous Improvement Realities
• Maintaining a Safe Work Environment
• Conducting Effective Meetings
• Situational Leadership
• Managing Multiple Projects

OHRC Presentation - Lost Love, Murder, and Hillbillies...Songs of the Ozarks by Dawn Larsen

Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:19:36 +0000

A presentation of Lost Love, Murder, and Hillbillies...Songs of the Ozarks presented by Dawn Larsen at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center and WPCA. Refreshments provided.

Performer/storyteller/singer-songwriter and fifth generation Ozarker, Dawn grew up amid lots of mountain music, arts, storytelling, beautiful hills and rivers. She taught herself to play guitar at 13. At a family gathering at about that age, after she had finished singing traditional ballads and was taking a break, her mother pulled her aside and asked, “Don’t you know anything besides death and dying music?” She’s proud to play Roots music, which is full of “death and dyin,” an integral part of the human condition. She regularly plays festivals, house concerts, listening rooms, gives workshops in performing and writing, and other events. She completed a songwriting artist-in-residency in Northern Ireland in 2024 and has also released two CDs of original music. She founded and operated the last traveling Toby tent show in the country for ten years. In 2025 she retired as Professor of Theatre at Francis Marion University in South Carolina where she specialized in American popular entertainment, especially rural comedy.

About the presentation --

The Halloween season is the perfect time to sit back and have a listen to old (and new) songs of the Ozarks and its dark and spooky past. There might be a couple of stories thrown in as well. Come join the fun... if you dare…

Unlocking Team Potential: The 6 Types of Working Genius

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 21:02:01 +0000

Do your team members struggle with burnout and frustration at work? Are meetings inefficient and unproductive? Do you wonder why some employees thrive in certain roles while others seem constantly drained?

Business owners, managers, and team leads today face the challenge of maximizing productivity while maintaining high morale and preventing burnout. Patrick Lencioni’s groundbreaking 6 Types of Working Genius model offers a remarkably simple yet powerful framework for understanding how people naturally contribute to any project or team effort. This half-day program will help you identify your own areas of genius and frustration, while giving you practical tools to build stronger, more cohesive teams where every member works in their area of natural energy and joy.

The 6 Types of Working Genius model identifies six distinct stages of work—from ideation through implementation—and reveals which stages energize versus drain each team member. By understanding this model, leaders can structure work, delegate tasks, and facilitate meetings in ways that keep everyone “at the right altitude,” avoiding the turbulence that comes from misalignment.

Key Competencies:

Discover Your Personal Geniuses – Take the Working Genius assessment and understand which types of work bring you natural joy, energy, and fulfillment versus frustration and exhaustion
Leverage Team Strengths – Learn to identify and utilize the unique geniuses of each team member to increase productivity, reduce burnout, and improve job satisfaction and alignment
Structure Effective Meetings – Apply the “altitude” concept to keep meetings focused at the appropriate stage of work (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, or Tenacity)
Build Team Cohesion – Develop a common language for discussing work preferences, reducing unnecessary judgment, and creating more collaborative team dynamics
Optimize Workflow and Delegation – Structure projects and delegate responsibilities based on natural geniuses rather than traditional job descriptions alone

Successful participants will:

Gain clarity on their own areas of genius and frustration, experiencing immediate relief from understanding why certain work energizes or drains them
Learn to recognize the six types of genius in their team members and leverage these natural gifts for better project outcomes and higher productivity
Develop practical strategies for structuring meetings that honor different working styles and keep discussions productive and focused
Create action plans for realigning job responsibilities and team structures to maximize engagement, reduce burnout, and improve overall morale
Build stronger team cohesion through a shared framework and common language for discussing work preferences and complementary strengths

Please note: Fee includes $25. Working Genius assessment fee. Participants will need a smart phone to complete the assessment during the session.

GATHER: A cinematic dining experience

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 20:28:28 +0000

Join us for GATHER, the signature event of Missouri State University Hospitality Leadership, for an unforgettable evening of cuisine, creativity, and student-led hospitality.

GATHER celebrates the talent, professionalism, and real-world learning of Missouri State hospitality students. The evening is designed, managed, and executed by students in the Special Event Planning course, giving guests a front-row seat to hospitality education in action.

GATHER stands for Growing and Aspiring Talent in Hospitality through Education and Readiness.

For 2026, guests are invited to step into A Cinematic Dining Experience — an immersive evening inspired by the storytelling, style, and emotion of the movies.

The evening begins with an upscale reception inspired by the energy of a red carpet premiere and the elegance of a classic cinema. From there, guests will move through five genre-inspired dining spaces, each presenting a thoughtfully portioned course within a progressive, multi-course meal.

Rather than recreating specific films, each space will capture the mood, atmosphere, and creativity of a different movie genre through food, décor, service, and guest experience. Across the reception and five dining spaces, guests can expect a one-of-a-kind evening where every room sets a scene, every course adds to the story, and every detail is brought to life by the students of Missouri State University Hospitality Leadership.

By attending GATHER, you are directly supporting hands-on, experiential learning for hospitality students as they apply their skills in event design, menu development, guest service, logistics, leadership, and professional execution.

Seats are limited. Reserve your seat today and join us for an unforgettable evening of cinema, cuisine, and hospitality in action.

Leading Above the Noise

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:59:56 +0000

As reported by the website, tech21century.com: “Through mobile phones, online entertainment services, the Internet, electronic mail, television, radio, newspapers, books, social media etc. people receive every day about 105,000 words or 23 words per second in half a day (12 hours) (during awake hours). According to…researchers, the main effect of information overload is that the human attention to focus is continually hampered and interrupted all too often, which does not help in the process of reflection and deeper thinking.”

It’s not that things are changing, it’s that things are changing faster and faster. The increasing velocity of change creates new and ever-greater challenges.

If your inbox is overwhelming, your to-do list never-ending, 2010 seems like it was just last year, and you have forgotten what it feels like to be caught up with everything, you may be suffering from Information Overload compounded by a case of Urgency Dependence.

Building on the best time management methods, as well as programs designed to lower frustration, diminish stress, and improve relationships both on and off the job, this session aims to help participants realize a more meaningful and satisfying life, in spite of non-stop change and the enormous volume of information coming at them 24/7.

This workshop will help leaders at all levels work more effectively, then more efficiently, while initiating and facilitating beneficial change, by communicating purposefully and persuasively in order to enable themselves and others to keep up with tomorrow.

Agenda & Objectives

Successful participants will:

Describe how the Natural Laws of Commerce drive change.
Identify recent changes in their lives and describe the impact of those changes.
Learn how to lead others through the cycles of change, and prevent them from getting stuck in the past.
Examine how balancing efficiency and effectiveness can lead to more satisfying and productive outcomes.
Discover their own degree of Urgency Mindset.
Assess how effectively they are using their time, and how to keep from wasting it.
Select and plan how best to use their preferred methods of stress reduction.

Learn the critical concepts and techniques needed to complete your projects within their cost, schedule, and performance targets. As a result of attending this seminar, you will be able to complete projects on time, manager resources more effectively, meet or beat budget objectives, achieve successful, quality outcomes, and minimize “redo” by doing it right the first time.
