Annual Chamber Banquet
recognized and awarded for their dedication, excellence, and professional development, as well as commitment to
serving our community.
Executive Director: Sandra Williams
Introducing the Kirksville
Leadership Institute Class of 2018…
Congratulations to the following individuals who recently completed
our 9-month program. Front Row Left to Right: Chayton True, City of Kirksville; Trevor
Mills, US Bank; Heliene Tobler, The Willows Lakehouse; Heather Rowland, American Trust Bank; Chad Earhart, Chad
Earhart CO.; Amanda Anders, A.T. Still University; Jessica Boucher; Kirksville Pharmacy; Jane Brushwood, Kirksville Days Inn;
Jeremy Hopkins; Truman State University
This networking program comes with a twist. The class meets as a group once a month, tours Kirksville, & meets community leaders. When class is not in session, they work together as leaders on a community project. Whether you are new to Kirksville, or a long time resident, everyone graduates with a new perspective on what leadership is, what leadership means to them and an appreciation for Kirksville. The 2018 KLI class raised funds for Downtown Beautification. High quality, self watering planters & lighting for the Adair Co. Courthouse coming soon!

Workforce Challenges Angie Findling, US Bank Home Mortgage
President, Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce
As a CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) Lender, I am focused on improving the lives of low- and moderate-income families by providing accessible mortgage loans to those families. Providing these opportunities also helps support community development. Homeowners become stable employees. Good-paying, stable jobs are not only important to workers and their families but are also the foundation of a strong community. As local employers face challenges maintaining an adequate workforce, retention becomes as important as recruitment. Compensation, benefits, incentives all lend to retention but according to an article online by Shep Hyken “Not unlike what a business does to get and keep customers, employers must work harder to recruit and retain the best employees”. In a study by Businessolver “96 percent of respondents rate empathy as an important sentiment for companies to demonstrate”.
I’ve been the happiest in positions that value me as a person and empathize with my work-life challenges. Wages become less of a concern than feeling content and supported in my workplace when empathy is demonstrated.
“If your organization is not thinking about – even focusing on – empathy, you are at risk of losing top candidates as well as tenured employees. With so many companies worried about customer loyalty, perhaps they should shift some of the effort to creating employee loyalty. An emphasis on empathy could be a good start.”

The 15th Annual Red, White, and Blue Festival brought many visitors to our town. Families of 2 and 3 generations enjoyed the festivities and participated in the activities. Thank you to the committee chairs for all your hard work! Luke Callaghan chaired the United Way Apple Pie Contest and Auction. Dan Peterson and Brad Hudson directed the Community Band concert. The Aaron Russell Band performed at the Summer on the Square concert, sponsored by Chariton Valley Association. Zac Burden and the North Star Rotary Club chaired the Joint Service Club Pancake Breakfast. Lonnie Byrn and Mariann Larkin chaired the Classic Car Show. LaRoyce Allemang directed Cemetery Theater. Rodney Sadler of Kirksville Parks and Recreation Department chaired the parade. Dan Martin and Lynda Furney chaired the FLATS Uncle Sam Run and Alan Daniels and the Kirksville Country Club served as the Fireworks Technicians. Thank you to the 100+ volunteers that make this festival happen. A very special thank you to our Fireworks Sponsors: City of Kirksville; Kirksville Tourism; KLTE Radio; Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce; The Kirksville Country Club.
Along with creating days of patriotic, all-American fun, the Tourism Office is proud to partner with many charities in town. The pie event raised $1,600 for the United Way. The Car Show is providing $500 for next year’s fireworks. The Joint Service Club Pancake Breakfast made over $3,000. The net proceeds will go to help pay for next year’s fireworks display. Cemetery Theater made over $350. Curtain Call Theater and Friends of Forest Llewellyn Cemetery will share the proceeds. The Uncle Sam Run took in over $3,000 which will help build the FLATS Trail.
It is wonderful to have a festival that provides entertainment and recreation for both visitors and community members. It is also a great opportunity for charities to fundraise. Next year the festival will be on July 3-5. Put the dates on your calendars and invite your friends and family to visit Kirksville!
Thank you, Kirksville, for Another Sparktacular All-American Red, White, and Blue Festival! -Debi Boughton, Tourism Director
