August Newsletter

Engage, Connect, Succeed

As we move into August, the KCK Chamber continues to be the hub where business leaders, community partners, and innovators come together to shape a thriving Kansas City, Kansas. Our mission is to foster connections, advocate for business growth, and create opportunities that strengthen our local economy. This month, I’m excited to invite you to two standout events.

The Congressional Forum at Margaritaville on Friday, August 15, featuring Kansas Senator Dinah Sykes and Representative Laura Williams sharing insights on the newly passed bipartisan childcare bill and key commerce and education initiatives. In addition, Over the Fence with David Pruente on Wednesday, August 20, where the Greater Kansas City Chamber’s Chief Strategy Officer will dive into pressing regional developments—from stadium futures to the 2026 World Cup and beyond.

These gatherings are your launchpad—to build meaningful local connections, elevate your business, and play a vital role in shaping KCK’s future. Let’s seize the momentum—community-first, growth-driven, and ready to lead.
