The Kansas City Business Journal is bringing together local women for a free small group speed coaching session to make peer connections. If you're a business professional looking to gain insights from an amazing group of women and grow your networks, get tickets to this 2/22 event!

EDC Administrative Coordinator AND performing artist that's our very own Gayle Price! Mark your calendars to check her out fronting her band Pure Sweetness Entertainment down at 18th and Vine on the 19th!

KCMO has received additional funding for emergency rental assistance. An application process is on the way this month, but immediate assistance is also available. Check the page for more details.

We're proud of our programs to support businesses and development in KCMO at every level. Kris' Etsy shop, and tons of small businesses like it, are an important part of our economy too! We were excited to place an order for her custom masks for our whole team, and she sent along this video to thank us. Thank YOU, Kris! We love the masks.... You can check out her shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CharlotteStreetStyle If you have a favorite local small business or side hustle like this, let us know!

Our Business Development Officers focus on specific industries and parts of the city to leverage KC's many competitive advantages, connecting businesses with city resources, EDC programs and other ways to grow in KCMO. Each week we'll be introducing you to a different BDO on our team. This week, meet Daymeond Hord, whose industry focus is manufacturing and supply chain logistics, covering the Clay County and Industrial Crescent territories.
