Our understanding of the visual w orld is shaped by our experiences\, cultural conditioning\, and surroundin g environment. Meaning does not reside solely within an object\; it arises from a participatory\, constructed process. As the author Anaïs Nin remi nds us\, “We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.” \nEye of the Beholder approaches perception from this point of view\, esp ecially as it relates to received notions of femininity. In this exhibitio n\, artworks that depict readable characteristics of the feminine are plac ed in conversation with abstract pieces that only allude to femininity’s essential qualities. The materiality of a Donna Sharrett textile\, the pa lette of a Helen Frankenthaler print\, and the imagery of a Michael Eastma n photograph can each become allegories of femininity. When these works ar e placed in dialogue\, the subsequent comparisons invite us to question wh ether the very suggestion of the feminine alters how we interpret what we see next. \nIn Eye of the Beholder\, the installation\, itself\, becomes p art of this inquiry. In one gallery\, a dense\, salon-style arrangement in vites a layered reading through close spatial relationships. In the other room\, a more traditional presentation offers space and visual separation\ , encouraging each work to stand on its own. Moving between these two envi ronments\, viewers may notice how associations carry over\, linger\, or di ssolve. We are invited to participate in this process\, to question our ow n habits of perception\, and to consider how suggestion and context shape what is seen. \nUltimately\, this exhibition asks us to consider how we co me to recognize and imagine femininity\, not only in what is depicted\, bu t in what is implied. What appears to be “feminine” may not reside in the object at all\, but in the expectations we bring to it. In the end\, t he key to the exhibition is not on the walls\, it is in the eye of the beh older. \nQuestions \n\nWhat three words describe femininity to you?\nWhat artwork in the exhibit speaks to femininity the most in your opinion? Why? \n\nQuote \n“We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are. ” -Anaïs Nin \nThis exhibition was curated by Marcie Teter\, Dr. Meghan McClellan\, and Elena Sofia Raineri. \nAnne Noggle\, "Mary: A Retrospecti ve"\, 1987\; Gelatin silver print\; Gift of Ricci Racela & Michael Bonahan .Anne Noggle\, "Mary: A Retrospective"\, 1987\; Gelatin silver print\; Gif t of Ricci Racela & Michael Bonahan.

Rather than offering escape\, abstraction here operates as a point of collision\, where systems intended to stabilize and contain begin to reveal their own instability. \nAcross the works presented\, a s ense of underlying tension becomes visible. Control and vulnerability coex ist in a state of friction\, producing a persistent and unresolved unease. The exhibition does not seek to resolve these conditions\, but to foregro und them. \nFormal structures such as grids and repeated systems are subje cted to pressure. They loosen\, fragment\, or give way to gesture. Surface s accumulate and thicken\, resisting restraint and asserting material pres ence. In this context\, structures associated with clarity\, protection\, or definition appear increasingly fragile and provisional. \nAbstraction e merges as a charged field in which instinct and control intersect. Systems falter\, and moments of excess or disruption come to the fore. What is re vealed is not collapse\, but a sustained state of instability in which ord er persists without ever fully securing itself. \nUnder Pressure was curat ed by Alex Britton and Garry Holstein. \nJack Tworkov\, "DA on P #4 Q1-73" \, 1978\; Acrylic on paper.

It happens when people unite around a common objective\, build rela tionships\, recognize opportunities\, and transform innovative ideas into tangible actions. The ethos of KC 360 subcommittees is that we are stronge r together. Subcommittees give KC 360 participants a place to move beyond conversation and get to work. They gather individuals with diverse experie nces\, expertise\, and viewpoints to tackle specific challenges and opport unities\, crafting practical solutions that enhance Kansas City neighborho ods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Are KC 360 Subcommittees?We have established four s ubcommittees focused on community safety\, opportunity\, and well-being. T he action that Kansas City needs cannot be achieved through our weekly one -hour KC 360 meetings alone. Subcommittees allow us to concentrate efforts on specific areas where collaboration can make a real difference. Partici pants identify needs\, exchange ideas\, form partnerships\, set priorities \, and create action plans. This structure transforms ideas into actionabl e steps. In 2025\, 596 individuals representing 296 organizations have att ended a KC 360\, and 106 individuals have been involved in our subcommitte es. An additional 473 individuals have attended workshops hosted by KC 360 subcommittees. These included two Criminal Justice 101 workshops\, a trau ma response training\, Business 360 Marketing Workshop\, and multiple Lunc h and Learns. Currently\, KC 360 features subcommittees dedicated to: Comm unity-Police RelationsYouth EmpowermentCommunity Care 360Business 360Each subcommittee has distinct focuses and objectives\, yet they share a common belief: thatstronger communities are built through partnership\, trust\, and collective action. Why Subcommittees MatterCommunity challenges are co mplex. Issues such as public safety\, youth well-being\, economic opportun ity\, relationships with the justice system\, and community healing are in terconnected\, and no single organization or sector can address them alone . Subcommittees foster a collaborative environment where community members \, organizations\, businesses\, faith leaders\, educators\, public systems \, and concerned citizens work together\, ensuring that those closest to t he challenges are involved in finding solutions. Moreover\, subcommittees promote accountability. A promising idea gains strength when there are ind ividuals willing to ask: What are the next steps? Who else should be invol ved? What actions can we take? Who has done this before? How will we measu re success? From Ideas to ActionThe work within a subcommittee often start s with a conversation. A participant might highlight a challenge\, another brings a different viewpoint\, a partner shares resources\, and the group identifies a gap\, prompting them to consider possible actions. From thes e discussions\, ideas evolve into specific goals and action steps connecte d to partnerships and resources. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For instance\, the Youth Emp owerment Subcommittee aims to link families with resources that help youth thrive safely and empower them to prevent and interrupt violence. Its mem bers address pathways to violence by: Enhancing community understanding of the justice system and improving navigationof its complexities.Investigat ing barriers to program participation and school attendance.Emphasizing co nflict resolution and de-escalation strategies.Establishing a Youth 360 Bo ard of Advisors for youth aged 13-18 to provide insights on how to better support young people and their families.The Community-Police Relations Sub committee utilizes a multi-tiered engagement model to encourage collaborat ion between KCPD and community partners\, which includes: Participation du ring KC 360 meetingsShifts in mindset\, knowledge\, and communicationActio n items such as:Community presenceConflict resolutionCultural competencyTr ust-building initiativesRestorative justice trainingEducation on the crimi nal justice systemThe Community Care 360 Subcommittee focuses on fostering a safe and harmonious community where neighbors empower one another to le ad meaningful lives. Their initiatives include spiritual-based grief suppo rt\, providing faith leaders with resources to better serve their congrega tions\, and ensuring a visible faith presence in local neighborhoods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Business 360 showcases how the business community can actively en gage in public safety and neighborhood opportunities. Its mission involves collaborating with businesses to enhance public safety\, expand workforce opportunities\, and support thriving neighborhoods across Kansas City. Th e action plan outlines clear goals for broadening the business network\, e ducating businesses about shared responsibility for public safety\, activa ting them in workforce and youth engagement\, and promoting neighborhood e conomic development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Everyone Has Something to ContributeSubc ommittees are structured around the concept of partnership because collabo rative work is essential to build stronger relationships throughout Kansas City. You don’t have to be an expert to get involved. Whether you have a professional skill\, a neighborhood connection\, an idea\, personal expe rience\, or simply a willingness to listen and assist\, your input is valu able. How to Get InvolvedIf you care about the future of Kansas City\, the re’s a place for you at the table. Start by identifying the issue that r esonates most with you: Interested in strengthening relationships between communities and law enforcement? Explore our Community-Police Relations Su bcommitteeWant to help young people and families thrive? Check out our You th Empowerment Subcommittee.Interested in assisting in healing\, faith com munities\, and neighbors affected by violence? Look into Community Care 36 0.Eager to help businesses become partners in public safety and neighborho od investment? Consider Business 360.You can also start by attending a KC 360 meeting to connect with other participants and discover where your exp eriences and interests can make the most significant impact. Your Idea Cou ld Be the Next ActionEvery action plan has to start somewhere. It might be gin with a question\, a concern from a neighbor\, a connection between two organizations\, or a belief to create positive change. Subcommittees offe r the framework needed to transform that initial thought into a collaborat ive project. Moving the needle forward isn’t always easy. You need to be willing to be persistent through barriers\, and pivots\, momentum loss\, and needing to start over\, but you’ll get to work alongside a group of people who are just as hopeful as you are. If you have an idea\, a skill\, a connection\, or simply a passion for helping to create safer\, stronger \, and more connected neighborhoods\, we welcome you to join us. Bring you r voice. Bring your ideas. Bring your eagerness to act\, and together\, we can turn ideas into actions and those actions into a lasting impact on ou r community.

Across generations\, media\, and artistic perspectives\, the exhibition considers nature not as a static subject\, but as a dynamic network of exchange in which every en counter has the potential to transform what follows. \nThe phenomenon of c ross-pollination offers both a biological process and a curatorial framewo rk. As butterflies\, bees\, birds\, and wind carry pollen between plants\, they sustain biodiversity through movement and connection. Likewise\, the works assembled in this exhibition generate new meaning through proximity . Historical works from the Daum Museum’s collection enter into conversa tion with contemporary practices\, creating moments of resonance that exte nd beyond chronology and reveal the collection as an evolving body of idea s. \nWorking across painting\, photography\, sculpture\, textiles\, and in stallation\, the artists engage recurring themes of growth\, migration\, a daptation\, fragility\, and resilience. Plants and pollinators appear thro ughout the exhibition as enduring symbols of interdependence\, reminding u s that life flourishes through relationships rather than isolation. These ecological systems become a lens through which to consider artistic influe nce\, cultural memory\, and the continual exchange between past and presen t. \nCross-Pollination invites visitors to experience the museum as an eco system where works of art\, like living organisms\, exist within a web of connections that expands with every new encounter. The temporary presence of invited artists does not stand apart from the permanent collection\, bu t activates it\, allowing ideas to circulate across time and media. Togeth er\, these works reflect the vitality of nature itself\, demonstrating tha t renewal emerges through diversity\, dialogue\, and the continual movemen t of ideas.

B ringing together ceramics and works on paper\, the exhibition examines Cla rke’s enduring exploration of the vessel\, drawing\, and the expressive potential of the handmade mark. \nFor more than four decades\, Clarke has investigated the relationship between form\, surface\, and touch. While th e vessel remains central to his practice\, his work extends beyond traditi onal ceramics through an ongoing dialogue with drawing\, color\, and gestu re. The resulting works record both the physical act of making and the qui et rhythms that shape the creative process. \nClarke describes his practic e as one guided by touch and by an intuitive response to both material and process: “I think I have always cast a pretty wide net in terms of my e xploration of clay. Pots and the vessel have held the center but there has been a strong overlay of interest in drawing\, color and leaving a trace of the hand. I navigate both the clay and drawing with an emphasis on ‘t ouch’ and a felt response to the materials and to my own inner rhythms a nd sensibilities. I am guided by a dialogue with the work and find myself in agreement when it speaks in a voice that has commitment and conviction\ , but also the allure of mystery and enigma. I am always most pleased when the work strikes a balance between wildness and restraint. Through all th is work I am most interested in distinguishing the record\, the moment of the hand touching clay\, and the actual quality of feeling surrounding the work.” \nThe exhibition highlights Clarke’s sustained interest in bal ancing spontaneity with restraint\, allowing each object to embody both th e evidence of its making and a sense of quiet contemplation. Through layer ed surfaces\, expressive line\, and carefully considered form\, King’s H ighway invites viewers to consider clay as both a material and a record of human experience. \nBede Clarke is Professor Emeritus at the University o f Missouri-Columbia\, where he taught ceramics from 1992 to 2021. He recei ved an MFA from the University of Iowa and a BFA from Eckerd College. His work is represented in museum collections throughout the United States and internationally\, including the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Tai pei County Yingge Ceramics Museum\, the Icheon World Ceramic Center\, the South Bend Museum of Art\, the Martin Museum of Art\, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. Clarke lives and works in Columbia\, Missouri.

It happens when people unite around a common objective\, build rela tionships\, recognize opportunities\, and transform innovative ideas into tangible actions. The ethos of KC 360 subcommittees is that we are stronge r together. Subcommittees give KC 360 participants a place to move beyond conversation and get to work. They gather individuals with diverse experie nces\, expertise\, and viewpoints to tackle specific challenges and opport unities\, crafting practical solutions that enhance Kansas City neighborho ods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Are KC 360 Subcommittees?We have established four s ubcommittees focused on community safety\, opportunity\, and well-being. T he action that Kansas City needs cannot be achieved through our weekly one -hour KC 360 meetings alone. Subcommittees allow us to concentrate efforts on specific areas where collaboration can make a real difference. Partici pants identify needs\, exchange ideas\, form partnerships\, set priorities \, and create action plans. This structure transforms ideas into actionabl e steps. In 2025\, 596 individuals representing 296 organizations have att ended a KC 360\, and 106 individuals have been involved in our subcommitte es. An additional 473 individuals have attended workshops hosted by KC 360 subcommittees. These included two Criminal Justice 101 workshops\, a trau ma response training\, Business 360 Marketing Workshop\, and multiple Lunc h and Learns. Currently\, KC 360 features subcommittees dedicated to: Comm unity-Police RelationsYouth EmpowermentCommunity Care 360Business 360Each subcommittee has distinct focuses and objectives\, yet they share a common belief: thatstronger communities are built through partnership\, trust\, and collective action. Why Subcommittees MatterCommunity challenges are co mplex. Issues such as public safety\, youth well-being\, economic opportun ity\, relationships with the justice system\, and community healing are in terconnected\, and no single organization or sector can address them alone . Subcommittees foster a collaborative environment where community members \, organizations\, businesses\, faith leaders\, educators\, public systems \, and concerned citizens work together\, ensuring that those closest to t he challenges are involved in finding solutions. Moreover\, subcommittees promote accountability. A promising idea gains strength when there are ind ividuals willing to ask: What are the next steps? Who else should be invol ved? What actions can we take? Who has done this before? How will we measu re success? From Ideas to ActionThe work within a subcommittee often start s with a conversation. A participant might highlight a challenge\, another brings a different viewpoint\, a partner shares resources\, and the group identifies a gap\, prompting them to consider possible actions. From thes e discussions\, ideas evolve into specific goals and action steps connecte d to partnerships and resources. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For instance\, the Youth Emp owerment Subcommittee aims to link families with resources that help youth thrive safely and empower them to prevent and interrupt violence. Its mem bers address pathways to violence by: Enhancing community understanding of the justice system and improving navigationof its complexities.Investigat ing barriers to program participation and school attendance.Emphasizing co nflict resolution and de-escalation strategies.Establishing a Youth 360 Bo ard of Advisors for youth aged 13-18 to provide insights on how to better support young people and their families.The Community-Police Relations Sub committee utilizes a multi-tiered engagement model to encourage collaborat ion between KCPD and community partners\, which includes: Participation du ring KC 360 meetingsShifts in mindset\, knowledge\, and communicationActio n items such as:Community presenceConflict resolutionCultural competencyTr ust-building initiativesRestorative justice trainingEducation on the crimi nal justice systemThe Community Care 360 Subcommittee focuses on fostering a safe and harmonious community where neighbors empower one another to le ad meaningful lives. Their initiatives include spiritual-based grief suppo rt\, providing faith leaders with resources to better serve their congrega tions\, and ensuring a visible faith presence in local neighborhoods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Business 360 showcases how the business community can actively en gage in public safety and neighborhood opportunities. Its mission involves collaborating with businesses to enhance public safety\, expand workforce opportunities\, and support thriving neighborhoods across Kansas City. Th e action plan outlines clear goals for broadening the business network\, e ducating businesses about shared responsibility for public safety\, activa ting them in workforce and youth engagement\, and promoting neighborhood e conomic development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Everyone Has Something to ContributeSubc ommittees are structured around the concept of partnership because collabo rative work is essential to build stronger relationships throughout Kansas City. You don’t have to be an expert to get involved. Whether you have a professional skill\, a neighborhood connection\, an idea\, personal expe rience\, or simply a willingness to listen and assist\, your input is valu able. How to Get InvolvedIf you care about the future of Kansas City\, the re’s a place for you at the table.

Consider Business 360.You can also start by attending a KC 360 meeting to connect with other participants and discover where your exp eriences and interests can make the most significant impact. Your Idea Cou ld Be the Next ActionEvery action plan has to start somewhere. It might be gin with a question\, a concern from a neighbor\, a connection between two organizations\, or a belief to create positive change. Subcommittees offe r the framework needed to transform that initial thought into a collaborat ive project. Moving the needle forward isn’t always easy. You need to be willing to be persistent through barriers\, and pivots\, momentum loss\, and needing to start over\, but you’ll get to work alongside a group of people who are just as hopeful as you are. If you have an idea\, a skill\, a connection\, or simply a passion for helping to create safer\, stronger \, and more connected neighborhoods\, we welcome you to join us. Bring you r voice.

It happens when people unite around a common objective\, build rela tionships\, recognize opportunities\, and transform innovative ideas into tangible actions. The ethos of KC 360 subcommittees is that we are stronge r together. Subcommittees give KC 360 participants a place to move beyond conversation and get to work. They gather individuals with diverse experie nces\, expertise\, and viewpoints to tackle specific challenges and opport unities\, crafting practical solutions that enhance Kansas City neighborho ods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Are KC 360 Subcommittees?We have established four s ubcommittees focused on community safety\, opportunity\, and well-being. T he action that Kansas City needs cannot be achieved through our weekly one -hour KC 360 meetings alone. Subcommittees allow us to concentrate efforts on specific areas where collaboration can make a real difference. Partici pants identify needs\, exchange ideas\, form partnerships\, set priorities \, and create action plans. This structure transforms ideas into actionabl e steps. In 2025\, 596 individuals representing 296 organizations have att ended a KC 360\, and 106 individuals have been involved in our subcommitte es. An additional 473 individuals have attended workshops hosted by KC 360 subcommittees. These included two Criminal Justice 101 workshops\, a trau ma response training\, Business 360 Marketing Workshop\, and multiple Lunc h and Learns. Currently\, KC 360 features subcommittees dedicated to: Comm unity-Police RelationsYouth EmpowermentCommunity Care 360Business 360Each subcommittee has distinct focuses and objectives\, yet they share a common belief: thatstronger communities are built through partnership\, trust\, and collective action. Why Subcommittees MatterCommunity challenges are co mplex. Issues such as public safety\, youth well-being\, economic opportun ity\, relationships with the justice system\, and community healing are in terconnected\, and no single organization or sector can address them alone . Subcommittees foster a collaborative environment where community members \, organizations\, businesses\, faith leaders\, educators\, public systems \, and concerned citizens work together\, ensuring that those closest to t he challenges are involved in finding solutions. Moreover\, subcommittees promote accountability. A promising idea gains strength when there are ind ividuals willing to ask: What are the next steps? Who else should be invol ved? What actions can we take? Who has done this before? How will we measu re success? From Ideas to ActionThe work within a subcommittee often start s with a conversation. A participant might highlight a challenge\, another brings a different viewpoint\, a partner shares resources\, and the group identifies a gap\, prompting them to consider possible actions. From thes e discussions\, ideas evolve into specific goals and action steps connecte d to partnerships and resources. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For instance\, the Youth Emp owerment Subcommittee aims to link families with resources that help youth thrive safely and empower them to prevent and interrupt violence. Its mem bers address pathways to violence by: Enhancing community understanding of the justice system and improving navigationof its complexities.Investigat ing barriers to program participation and school attendance.Emphasizing co nflict resolution and de-escalation strategies.Establishing a Youth 360 Bo ard of Advisors for youth aged 13-18 to provide insights on how to better support young people and their families.The Community-Police Relations Sub committee utilizes a multi-tiered engagement model to encourage collaborat ion between KCPD and community partners\, which includes: Participation du ring KC 360 meetingsShifts in mindset\, knowledge\, and communicationActio n items such as:Community presenceConflict resolutionCultural competencyTr ust-building initiativesRestorative justice trainingEducation on the crimi nal justice systemThe Community Care 360 Subcommittee focuses on fostering a safe and harmonious community where neighbors empower one another to le ad meaningful lives. Their initiatives include spiritual-based grief suppo rt\, providing faith leaders with resources to better serve their congrega tions\, and ensuring a visible faith presence in local neighborhoods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Business 360 showcases how the business community can actively en gage in public safety and neighborhood opportunities. Its mission involves collaborating with businesses to enhance public safety\, expand workforce opportunities\, and support thriving neighborhoods across Kansas City. Th e action plan outlines clear goals for broadening the business network\, e ducating businesses about shared responsibility for public safety\, activa ting them in workforce and youth engagement\, and promoting neighborhood e conomic development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Everyone Has Something to ContributeSubc ommittees are structured around the concept of partnership because collabo rative work is essential to build stronger relationships throughout Kansas City. You don’t have to be an expert to get involved. Whether you have a professional skill\, a neighborhood connection\, an idea\, personal expe rience\, or simply a willingness to listen and assist\, your input is valu able. How to Get InvolvedIf you care about the future of Kansas City\, the re’s a place for you at the table. Start by identifying the issue that r esonates most with you: Interested in strengthening relationships between communities and law enforcement?

Check out our You th Empowerment Subcommittee.Interested in assisting in healing\, faith com munities\, and neighbors affected by violence? Look into Community Care 36 0.Eager to help businesses become partners in public safety and neighborho od investment? Consider Business 360.You can also start by attending a KC 360 meeting to connect with other participants and discover where your exp eriences and interests can make the most significant impact. Your Idea Cou ld Be the Next ActionEvery action plan has to start somewhere. It might be gin with a question\, a concern from a neighbor\, a connection between two organizations\, or a belief to create positive change. Subcommittees offe r the framework needed to transform that initial thought into a collaborat ive project. Moving the needle forward isn’t always easy. You need to be willing to be persistent through barriers\, and pivots\, momentum loss\, and needing to start over\, but you’ll get to work alongside a group of people who are just as hopeful as you are. If you have an idea\, a skill\, a connection\, or simply a passion for helping to create safer\, stronger \, and more connected neighborhoods\, we welcome you to join us. Bring you r voice. Bring your ideas. Bring your eagerness to act\, and together\, we can turn ideas into actions and those actions into a lasting impact on ou r community.

Issues such as public safety\, youth well-being\, economic opportun ity\, relationships with the justice system\, and community healing are in terconnected\, and no single organization or sector can address them alone . Subcommittees foster a collaborative environment where community members \, organizations\, businesses\, faith leaders\, educators\, public systems \, and concerned citizens work together\, ensuring that those closest to t he challenges are involved in finding solutions. Moreover\, subcommittees promote accountability. A promising idea gains strength when there are ind ividuals willing to ask: What are the next steps? Who else should be invol ved? What actions can we take? Who has done this before? How will we measu re success? From Ideas to ActionThe work within a subcommittee often start s with a conversation. A participant might highlight a challenge\, another brings a different viewpoint\, a partner shares resources\, and the group identifies a gap\, prompting them to consider possible actions. From thes e discussions\, ideas evolve into specific goals and action steps connecte d to partnerships and resources. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For instance\, the Youth Emp owerment Subcommittee aims to link families with resources that help youth thrive safely and empower them to prevent and interrupt violence. Its mem bers address pathways to violence by: Enhancing community understanding of the justice system and improving navigationof its complexities.Investigat ing barriers to program participation and school attendance.Emphasizing co nflict resolution and de-escalation strategies.Establishing a Youth 360 Bo ard of Advisors for youth aged 13-18 to provide insights on how to better support young people and their families.The Community-Police Relations Sub committee utilizes a multi-tiered engagement model to encourage collaborat ion between KCPD and community partners\, which includes: Participation du ring KC 360 meetingsShifts in mindset\, knowledge\, and communicationActio n items such as:Community presenceConflict resolutionCultural competencyTr ust-building initiativesRestorative justice trainingEducation on the crimi nal justice systemThe Community Care 360 Subcommittee focuses on fostering a safe and harmonious community where neighbors empower one another to le ad meaningful lives. Their initiatives include spiritual-based grief suppo rt\, providing faith leaders with resources to better serve their congrega tions\, and ensuring a visible faith presence in local neighborhoods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Business 360 showcases how the business community can actively en gage in public safety and neighborhood opportunities. Its mission involves collaborating with businesses to enhance public safety\, expand workforce opportunities\, and support thriving neighborhoods across Kansas City. Th e action plan outlines clear goals for broadening the business network\, e ducating businesses about shared responsibility for public safety\, activa ting them in workforce and youth engagement\, and promoting neighborhood e conomic development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Everyone Has Something to ContributeSubc ommittees are structured around the concept of partnership because collabo rative work is essential to build stronger relationships throughout Kansas City. You don’t have to be an expert to get involved. Whether you have a professional skill\, a neighborhood connection\, an idea\, personal expe rience\, or simply a willingness to listen and assist\, your input is valu able.

Your Idea Cou ld Be the Next ActionEvery action plan has to start somewhere. It might be gin with a question\, a concern from a neighbor\, a connection between two organizations\, or a belief to create positive change. Subcommittees offe r the framework needed to transform that initial thought into a collaborat ive project. Moving the needle forward isn’t always easy. You need to be willing to be persistent through barriers\, and pivots\, momentum loss\, and needing to start over\, but you’ll get to work alongside a group of people who are just as hopeful as you are.
