This broadcast season, KSMU’s program "Making A Difference" is switching gears. Through a series of panel conversations airing the second Thursday of every month, we examine each chapter of The 2021 Community Focus Report for Springfield and Greene County. The CFR is a biennial report which evaluates the community’s assets, gaps, opportunities and challenges in eleven key areas, including today’s topic: citizen participation.
Our guests for today’s panel conversation are: Jonathan Groves, facilitator of the CFR; Sony Hocklander, author of the CFR chapter and White Paper on Citizen Participation; Joan Gentry, Voter Services Chair with the League Of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri; and Doug Sanders, a recently registered voter who is passionate about being a part of the voting process.
Production support for the 2021 Community Focus Report for Springfield and Greene County comes from: The Community Foundation of the Ozarks,The Junior League of Springfield, The Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, The Springfield-Greene County Library District, and The United Way of The Ozarks.
