YPN Town Hall Meeting - 2016 07

5 years ago following the May, 2011 tornado, YPN hosted a town hall meeting to discuss ideas of what the network could focus on that would impact the community as a whole and improve the quality of life for our residents. YPs resoundingly answered that they would like to see curbside recycling.  Fast forward 5 years and curbside recycling has been initiated in Joplin.  Now YPN is looking for our next community impact project and we need your help! This second town hall meeting looks to gain new ideas and perspectives on what the next focus for a YPN workgroup could be in the future.  All YPs are invited to attend. Please come with your ideas and don’t miss your opportunity to help influence the future of YPN.

Tuesday, August 23, 2016YPN CEO Leadership Lunche

YPN "ED" Talk with Sallie Beard - 2016 08

Topic: "Effective Decision Making." 

Join us as we hear from Ms. Sallie Beard on how to make effective and well-thought out decisions.

Sallie Beard served Missouri Southern State University as both coach and Athletics Director for 37 years before her retirement in 2009. She almost single-handedly created women’s athletics at Missouri Southern when she started the first women’s sports teams, serving as head coach of basketball, softball, tennis, and track and field. For 25 years, she was the Women’s Athletics Director. In 2001, she was named the first Athletics Director to oversee both the men’s and women’s athletic programs at MSSU. She is the only female to have served as an Athletics Director in the history of the MIAA. After her retirement, Beard’s administrative skills were once again called into action. Following the 2011 tornado that struck Joplin, she became deeply involved in the rebuilding effort, organizing housing for the many volunteers who came to her city. In 2015 Beard was appointed to the Joplin Schools Board of Education.

This is a brown bag lunch. RSVP by clicking the link or call 417.624.1996.

"ED" talks are brought to you by YPN Professional Development workgroup.
