Happy Dolly Parton day! 💖Her songs are on repeat for us today, but at we handed out the mic and let everyone pick their own tune. Do any of these make your playlist? 🎶👀

As part of our Civic Engagement Series, we toured the Ozarks Lyric Opera!🎭 Network members learned the Opera's history, explored the historic Gillioz and its third floor hub of local non-profits, and capped off the night with a dress rehearsal of Rossini's Cinderella.

Thank you to everyone who came out and brought your curiosity!

HUGE thank you to Ozarks Lyric Opera for hosting us, Care to Learn for being this year's Civic Engagement Series Presenting Sponsor, and OMB Bank for being our Annual Presenting Program Sponsor. 🙌

As we head into Q4, we wanted to share a quick update on what we have been up to.😊 2026 has been a record breaking year for The Network! 🎉 We've welcomed 140 new members - almost double what we welcomed last year - and hosted 23 events, more than half of which sold out or hit capacity. Numbers like these don't happen without an incredible community behind them. Thank you to every YP who has showed up, connected, and helped The Network grow this year. Here's to an even bigger 2027!

For our third Local Leadership event, our speaker ate and left no crumbs. 🔥

We honestly didn’t know it was possible to laugh so much while learning how to manage teams, grow as leaders, and still have fun. 🤪

Thank you, Joey Thorsen, for joining us! And thank you to Care to Learn for being our Series Presenting Sponsor and OMB Bank for being our Presenting Annual Program Sponsor!

Part two is here! 🤭 A few weeks ago, we put the Springfield Area Chamber Board and Leadership Council members on the spot with a silly icebreaker question, and we’re back with even more answers!

Want opportunities like these? Leadership Council members get the chance to regularly connect with business leaders, build meaningful mentorships with Chamber Board members, and participate in conversations with some of Springfield’s top community leaders.

Applications are open now and close Friday at 4:59 p.m. Apply to join a group that is constantly advocating for young professionals in the Springfield community!

What happens when you bring 70 young professionals to a cave? A LOT of learning (and lot of talk about cheese).

Yesterday, The Network went underground, literally, for a tour of the Springfield Underground with the Erlen Group. We dug into crushed rock, cheese storage, economic development, and rail logistics, and came away seriously impressed by how much of Springfield’s business ecosystem runs on what’s beneath our feet (again, literally).

⛏️ Huge thanks to Erlen Group for hosting so many eager YPs, TelComm Credit Union for sponsoring our Living in SGF Series, and OMB Bank for being our Annual Program Presenting Sponsor.

Who knew a simple game could spark so many new connections? 😉

Our New to The Network Series is designed to help new and prospective members break the ice, build relationships, and learn how to make the most of their membership in The Network. Interested in attending our next one? Send us a DM!

A big thank you to TLC Properties for sponsoring this series and to OMB Bank, our Annual Program Presenting Sponsor, for helping us create opportunities for connection with fellow YPs and our community.💙

Last week, we put the Springfield Area Chamber Board and Leadership Council members on the spot with a silly icebreaker question. 🤭 In addition to getting a year long mentor, Leadership Council members have the opportunity to participate in roundtable lunches with these community leaders, where they can share insights on what it’s like being a YP in the Springfield area. They also get practical advice from our Board members, creating a feedback loop between the two groups.

✅ Applications for the 2027 Leadership Council are open, and the link is below:
