Looking Ahead to 2017 As we roll into 2017, I am both honored and excited to serve as the Lee’s Summit Chamber Chair of the Board. It’s an opportune time to be a part of the Lee’s Summit Chamber, and the community in general. Lee’s Summit was recently named one of the best places to live by USA Today, and the Chamber is eager to keep the momentum moving forward. It’s important to stop and ask the question, “Why are we doing what we’re doing?” Stay focused and keep an end goal in mind when starting a new venture, or even re-thinking an existing one. Be sure to use the Chamber as a resource to guide you along your path. We’ve entered a time when it’s necessary to adapt to new technology and embrace change to enhance your business opportunities. Tyler Morehead, 2017 Chair Morehead Agency, LLC
Chamber membership offers value in many different forms. If you’re a start-up business seeking guidance, the Chamber can serve as a resource and get you in touch with the right people to help you. Maybe you’re an individual looking to expand your network and client base at one of the Chamber’s many networking events. The Chamber can help improve your visibility in the business forefront and keep you active in the community at the same time. The Chamber remains committed to doing all we can to maintain and improve upon the foundation of our thriving business environment. Our active involvement in civic partnerships, legislative issues, committees and various organizations help us keep you, our members, top-of-mind in the community. I encourage you to make the effort to be visible this year, both personally and professionally. We are an organization of more than 1,000 members and have reached that peak by supporting one another and our community. I’m proud to call this community home and I want to say “thank you” to my family, colleagues and Chamber friends for their support. I appreciate the dedication from our past Chair, board members, staff, committees and, particularly, your contributions in making Lee’s Summit a great place to work, live and raise a family. Wishing everyone the best in 2017!
Yours Truly, Tyler Morehead Morehead Agency, LLC 2017 Chair of the Board

Chamber and R-7 School District Accepting Teacher of the Year Nominations When you hear the phrase “outstanding teacher,” who comes to mind? You may want to nominate this person for the Lee’s Summit Chamber of Commerce Excellence In Teaching/R-7 Teacher of the Year Award. Twelve R-7 teachers will receive the Excellence In Teaching Award. Each award recipient will also become a finalist for the R-7 School District’s annual Teacher of the Year Award. The district’s Teacher of the Year goes on to compete in the Missouri State Teacher of the Year program. Any teacher, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, and any guidance counselor or library media specialist is eligible for the program. Due to the Missouri Teacher of the Year guidelines, guidance counselors and librarians are only eligible for the Excellence In Teaching Awards. They will not be considered for the Teacher of the Year Award since the state program is restricted to classroom teachers only. Former Excellence In Teaching Award winners are eligible to interview for the R-7 School District Teacher of the Year Award if nominated, although they would not be able to win the Excellence In Teaching Award again. The recognized teachers will be selected by a committee composed of R-7 staff and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the community. The 12 Excellence In Teaching winners will be announced in late March and honored at an April 12 reception. The Teacher of the Year will be announced at the reception. Nomination forms will be sent home with R-7 students in January. Anyone wanting a form may also visit the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District website at lsr7.org and select the Excellence In Teaching and Teacher of the Year option. The deadline for nominations is January 26.
