Multi-Chamber Washington DC Fly-In

A delegation representing five chambers of commerce within the region including, Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, South Kansas City, Grandview and Independence made their way to Washington, DC, in early April to discuss public policy and legislative issues important to businesses. The delegation, composed of community business leaders and chamber executives, met with Senators Roy Blunt and Claire McCaskill and House of Representatives’ Emanuel Cleaver, Vicki Hartzler and Sam Graves and their respective staff members. Four major issues affecting the business community were the focus of the trip - business taxation and entitlement reform, reliable and secure infrastructure, healthcare and transportation funding.

“The Congressional lawmakers were attentive and seemed appreciative of the testimonials being offered by the chambers’ spokespersons and genuinely interested in suggestions offered to address the concerns raised during the visits,” said Lee’s Summit Chamber Vice President Mark Dickey.

The delegation also had the opportunity to host a luncheon at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, directly across from the White House. The group was able to meet with top policy and public affairs personnel for briefings on important issues that face the nation’s business community.

Takeaways from the briefings of the delegation and the U.S. Chamber indicate that Congress and the Administration face a multitude of weighty issues that will have a profound impact on the country’s economic future.

The current environment reflects uncertainty and likely inaction moving forward until after the mid-term elections.

Member News & Announcements Mid-Continent Public Library Receives National Medal for Museum and Library Service The Institute of Museum and Library Services announced Mid-Continent Public Library of Greater Kansas City, Mo., is one of 10 recipients of this year’s National Medal for Museum and Library Service. The National Medal is the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries for service to the community. The National Medal was presented at an event in Washington, D.C., on May 8.

Mid-Continent Public Library serves residents in Jackson, Clay and Platte counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The library system, which turns 50 in 2015, was developed when multiple county and city libraries joined together to provide greater access to the communities they served.

Today, the system has 30 branch libraries, four automated library locations, the virtual library, and the Midwest Genealogy Center. The system has put a major emphasis on

early literacy and on ensuring access to resources that both educate and entertain.

Mid-Continent Public Library Director Steven V. Potter said the organization is honored to receive the National Medal. “I am thrilled that MCPL has been recognized by IMLS,” said Potter. “Our library is dedicated to providing our communities with the best possible experience, and this is just a wonderful affirmation of all the hard work that our trustees and staff have put toward that effort.”

Winners of the National Medal were selected from nationwide nominations of institutions that demonstrate innovative approaches to public service, exceeding the expected levels of community outreach.

Truman Medical Centers Announces Charlie Shields as New President/CEO Peggy Dunn, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Truman Medical Centers, announced today that the incoming TMC President/CEO will be Charles “Charlie” W. Shields, currently the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of TMC Lakewood. Shields will replace longtime CEO John W. Bluford III, who announced in late February that he would retire in July.

Shields has instituted various programs directed at recognizing and empowering physicians and staff resulting in TMC Lakewood consistently being recognized for both its growth and clinical quality.

“I am honored by the confidence shown in me,” said Charlie Shields. “TMC is a valuable community asset, a great place to work and most important, a great place to receive care. We have a tremendously talented medical staff, dedicated employees, loyal volunteers and a board of outstanding community leaders.

I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to help lead this organization.”
