Join us for our Evening of Excellence Legacy Awards Ceremony & Dinner at Veridian Events, 309 South Avenue, Springfield, MO 65806, as we celebrate 20 years of impact—helping Missouri communities strengthen their historic downtowns, grow local economies, and create places where people want to live, work, and belong.
