What a fantastic morning at our August Rooster Booster!

Thank you to Baird Wealth Management for sponsoring this month's program.

A special thank you to our Member Spotlight, Cecil Farms Produce, LLC, for providing fresh watermelon and produce for attendees to enjoy.

We also enjoyed highlighting our summer interns! OMU interns proudly led the Pledge of Allegiance before participating in a fun intern game that brought plenty of energy and laughter to this morning's program. As students across our community head back to school, we wish everyone a wonderful first day and a successful school year ahead. With Owensboro Catholic Schools beginning classes next week, we were honored to have student, Everett Jones, lead the invocation to begin our program.

Last week, the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce brought the voice of our community to our nation’s capital.

Chamber Board members, community leaders, and elected officials traveled to Washington, D.C., where they met with members of Congress and their staffs to discuss the priorities, opportunities, and challenges facing Greater Owensboro.

This annual visit provides an important opportunity to strengthen relationships, advocate for our community, and ensure Owensboro’s voice is represented at the national level.

We are proud of the leaders who came together to share our community’s vision and work toward a stronger future for Greater Owensboro.
