the first session took them to St Louis.

Hopper said that session allowed them to experience some of the social challenges that take place in larger cities. She said the second session took them to Kirksville where they learned how manufacturers are dealing with labor shortages, including getting work Visa’s for employees coming from outside the U.S. Leadership Missouri is a 7 month program which allows participants to learn more about industry, government and the people that make up Missouri’s economy.
