Based on the election outcome\, what should Missouri lawmakers do next? Elias Tsapelas and Brenda Talent will present important considerations and opportunities. \nData Centers – Data center proposals are emerging across Missouri. Local governments are weighing the potential benefits such as investment\, jobs\, and tax base growth against concerns about electricity demand\, water usage\, noise\, and land use. David Stokes and Avery Frank will discuss how municipalities can evaluate these projects. \nREGISTER NOW!\nThursday\, August 20\, 2026\nCountry Club of Missouri\n1300 Woodrail Avenue\nColumbia\, MO 65203\nDoors open: 11:30 a.m.\nDiscussion and Q&A: 12-1:00 p.m.\nTicket Price: $20.00\n(includes lunch and beverages)\nREGISTER HERE
