SpiritSPRINGFIELD
Leadership Visit reveals the “best kept secrets” of Springfield A group of 76 Springfield area business, education and government leaders participated in the Chamber’s 17th annual community leadership visit, September 16 and 17. For the first time ever, the annual program focused on our own community during the two-day visit . . . to Springfield, Missouri. Designed to be an intense and introspective study of Springfield, the visit gave participants a chance to learn about our community, see new things and challenge our own assumptions about this place we call “home.” Day One of the visit featured busi-ness and economic development with a look back at key stages in Springfield’s economic growth through the years, and a look forward with consideration of how Springfield is positioned to com-pete in the emerging knowledge-based economy. Participants were amazed to learn about the research taking place at the Roy Blunt Jordan Valley Innovation Center, especially the medical devices being developed by the St. John’s Medical Research Institute. The “technology accelerator” of JVIC anchors a 36-acre urban research park called IDEA Commons that blends residential, office, retail, entertainment and industry in Springfield’s center city. Participants pointed to the collaboration between Missouri State University and the private businesses located in JVIC
and IDEA Commons as a model for academic/industry co-location in other fields. The entrepreneurial success story of the Taylor-Martin group of companies wowed the Springfield delegation as participants toured the Lofts at Inspired Commerce and learned about Bridge Blue Sourcing Partners, a Springfield business built by Nathan Taylor and J. Kent Martin that supplies home furnishings for more than one-third of the nation’s top 50 retailers.

One of the often overlooked strengths of Springfield is the high number of inter-national students who come to our com-munity for higher education. At Missouri State University alone, the Executive MBA program brings more than 150 Chinese professionals to Springfield annually for the concentrated year-long course of study in business administration. In an effort to build international business connections, the Chamber sponsored its first ever “Job Shadow Day” for the Executive MBA students on September 21. The Chamber arranged job
shadow match-ups and business tours for 20 students for the day. The Chinese students had the oppor-tunity to learn about how their profession is practiced here in the United States by visiting local companies in the fields of law, accounting, construction, interior design,
freight forwarding and media. One group of students consisted of health care profes-sionals who visited the Springfield-Greene County Health Department, Jordan Valley Community Health Center and Ozarks Community Hospital.

Continued from the front cover. A session with Springfield area busi-ness leaders Louis Griesemer (Springfield Underground), Greg Henslee (O’Reilly Auto Parts), and Jack Stack (SRC Holdings Corporation) reminded the community leadership delegation to not forget about the importance of manufacturing. In particular, the panelists pointed to the cumulative impact of regulatory require-ments and the overhead costs most companies bear that are directly related to excessive government regulation. Stack emphasized the need for citizens to become more economically literate and to understand “where the revenues come from” for business and government. He said local government must do a better job at becoming aware of the goals and strategic plans of local businesses because they help generate the public revenue that funds government activities. The leadership visit participants took away from Day One a renewed awareness that Springfield must find a way to balance our “new economy” goals for technology-led economic development with the need to continue supporting our traditional mix of business and industry. Day Two of the 2010 community leadership visit took an in-depth look at two of the obstacles standing in the way of
Springfield’s future economic success. MSU sociologist Dr. Michael Stout described our community’s rising income inequality due to a poverty rate that is growing faster than the national average. Stout’s concern is that this economic disparity has created significant social divisions (particularly between north and south Springfield) that affect involvement and engagement in government decision-making and community development efforts. Participants studied the issue of poverty more deeply through a panel discussion that explored homelessness, chronic poverty and situational poverty from the perspective of health care, education, and social services. A tour of the various ministries of The Kitchen gave members of the delegation a first-hand look at one organization’s comprehensive efforts to serve the poor. Springfield’s striking lack of cultural diversity has been identified as another impediment to our future economic prosperity. In previous discussions, local businesses have shared how the commu-nity’s lack of diversity is creating challenges for their organizations, particularly in the areas of recruiting and retaining talented professionals. During the community leadership visit, a panel of speakers representing higher education, the faith

community, minorities in business and the local chapter of NAACP tackled this issue for participants. Francine Pratt, president of NAACP – Springfield, spoke about the passive racism she has experienced in Springfield, while John Oke-Thomas described what he calls the “welcoming deficit” of our community. Possible solutions offered by the panelists focused on improved efforts by local organizations to be more inclusive by reaching out to African-Americans and other minorities. “It’s not rocket science. It doesn’t take a whole lot of money. Just ask somebody (to be involved) and take them along,” said Pratt, as she emphasized how greater inclusion and engagement is a reachable goal for the community. “That’s the marvel of this. It’s so doable,” she added. Some participants referred to the dichotomy of their two days in Springfield as “a tale of two cities.” Discussions of nanotechnology, innovation and entrepre-neurship gave way to the pain of realizing that almost half of the students in Springfield Public Schools are eligible for the free-and-reduced price lunch program and nearly 50 percent of the homeless in our community are children. As the conversation veered toward solutions and remedies, however, a common theme emerged – the strong belief that education must be our foundation.Early childhood education is critical because 80 percent of human brain development happens before the age of five. A high school education and relevant job training provides a pathway out of poverty. Technical education prepares the work-force needed to grow our traditional base of business and industry. And our local universities are in the talent business as they attract, nurture and cluster the talent upon which the 21st Century economy is based. Participants concluded the two-day visit with a renewed appreciation for the collaboration that exists in the Springfield area and a desire to better communicate community successes. A complete report on the 2010 Community Leadership Visit will begin the process of telling those success stories and sparking the dialogue needed to move forward on the challeng-ing goals of reducing poverty and improv-ing inclusion.

Public Affairs
On October 21, Chamber members had the opportunity to recognize U.S. Senator Christopher S. “Kit” Bond as he prepares to retire after 24 years in the senate. Senator Bond spoke to Chamber members about his time in office and leaders from the Chamber, Greene County and the City of Springfield had the chance to thank him for the impact his efforts at the federal level have had on the southwest region, specifically in the areas of transportation, economic development, education. Above, Springfield Mayor Jim O’Neal thanked the Senator for his work in Washington, D.C. that has directly benefited the citizens of Springfield, including his leadership on projects such as the Jordan Valley Community Health Center, the Spring-field-Branson National Airport and the interchange at Highway 65 and I-44. Mayor O’Neal presented Sen. Bond with a key to the city in recognition of his nearly 40 years of public service.
Ted Phlegar, Senior Counsel for the Workforce Freedom Initiative, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spoke to Chamber members at “Labor Policy an Your Business: What’s next in Labor Legislation”, hosted by the Chamber’s Governmental Relations Committee. At the meeting on October 5, Phlegar discussed how issues such as Card Check, appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, increased regulation, and aggressive enforcement by OSHA and other agencies are a significant threat to economic growth and job creation.
