Last Tuesday was the February General Membership Meeting. Sponsored by Generation Next, the meeting featured a Toolbox Talk by Missouri Employers Mutual and a panel of the 2018 Faces to Know. Dianna Devore discussed the SCA’s workforce development initiatives and committee options for members. Stacie Ramos explained the benefits of allowing workers under the age of 40 to join Generation Next and encouraged those able to attend the Membership Drive to come and learn more about the group. King Block discussed his experience as someone involved in both Generation Next and the SCA as the Chair of two committees as well as the changes for the Pig Roast in 2018 and why they were made.
