Maximize Northwest Missouri and the University of Missouri Extension held a community discussion on the results of the 2025 Alumni and Resident survery. Maximize NWMO Director Cristel Gollnick explained the goal of the gathering.
To be a catalyst for collaborative discussion in the county.
The organization gathered information from those in attendance and the discussion about the survey results in the areas of economy and health.
A summary of data will be shared on their website.
Gollnick says three factors contribute to thriving communities and counties in rural Missouri.
People with a can-do attitude, a willingness to invest in ourselves, and leadership skills.
