LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Another edition of Top Mag! On behalf of the entire Greater Topeka Partnership team, thank you for taking the time to read through what we’ve been up to in recent months. Without your involvement and support, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish these feats and make progress on complex challenges affecting our community.

In the pages ahead, you’ll learn how we — alongside dedicated community partners in both the public and private sectors — are working to address issues like child care gaps and talent shortages. You may read about the community’s next five-year strategy, Momentum 2027, and the bold initiatives we’re setting our sights on over the next few years. You’ll also learn how we’re promoting regionalism and building an economy that benefits all.

Some of these issues, and our approaches to them, may surprise you. We hope it’s a pleasant surprise, because everything we do here at The Partnership is about you. It’s about our community, our residents, our business owners who make the Topeka area so special. Our work centers on improving equity and building economic prosperity, so that everyone in Topeka and Shawnee County has the opportunity to thrive.

I hope that as you read about these efforts, you’ll think about your own role in that mission and consider how you can make a lasting impact on this community in your own way. Together, we can, and will, make a difference.

Sincerely,

Yarborough
