The Strategic Planning Task Force met in Columbia, MOon November 1 to continue laying out a plan for MissouriLICA’s future. Amber Bosma with Prins Insurance was,once again, kind enough to help guide us through theprocess. During the session, she told a story about how,when a mother elephant gives birth, the remainder ofthe herd circle around her and stomp the ground,demonstrating their strength and support, while fendingoff any enemies.

This “stomping” seems to be the perfect symbol for whatmembers of the Task Force have planned. They aregoing to travel to varying parts of the state, talking toinactive and new contractor members, encouragingthem to join our mission by getting active in their localDistrict and attending the 2019 Winter Convention. Themembers will start “stomping” in Districts 3, 4, & 6. Ifyou’d like to join them, please call our President, TomLawlor (816-210-3260), or Mont Gilbert (573-219-2532)or Chris Brauer (660-553-0702), our membership co-chairs.

With Rob Liles’ creative talents, the group defined a newmotto and mission statement. They are:

Motto:“Improving our water quality and conserving ourlands for future generations.”

Mission Statement:Missouri LICA is an organization of contractors whohave a passion for the cause of giving back to theland. We have the ability and resources to educate ourmembers through the networking of professionaleducators and industry experts.
