You’ve made your mark. Now it’s time to craft your legacy.

Tomorrow is the final day to apply for the 2026–2027 cohort of The Legacy Network. Six months. Curated mentorship. A peer network of executives shaping 417-land.

Applications close May 31 at 11:59 p.m. Apply here: http://biz417.com/legacynetwork

Thank you Commerce Bank and Burrell Behavioral Health for investing in local leaders.

Every leader started somewhere.

A Sonic carhop on roller skates. A kid with a corn knife in a Nebraska bean field. A teenager behind a Fossil watch counter at the mall. Before the executive titles and corner offices, the 2025–2026 cohort of The Legacy Network started there, too.

The first desk doesn’t define the professional. But the lessons learned there often shape how they lead.

If you’re ready to grow your influence, expand your perspective and sharpen your leadership alongside other executives shaping 417-land, applications for the 2026–2027 cohort close May 31.

Only 24 leaders are selected. Apply here: http://legacynetwork.biz417.com.

Thank you Commerce Bank and Burrell Behavioral Health for investing in local leaders.

New city, new chapter, same big goals. Sarah and Shad Becker are settling into Springfield life while stepping into impactful new roles at CoxHealth and Commerce Bank.

Sarah and Shad Becker were living comfortably in St. Louis and well-established in their respective careers when opportunity came calling. Now, the couple has launched their next chapter, in Springfield.

Real questions. Real scenarios. Real application. The Fully Loaded experience at Biz 417’s Ladies Who Launch is where the work happens.

This event offers two ticket options, Classic and Fully Loaded. Classic delivers the signature Friday mainstage, including keynotes, networking and the full midday lineup.

But if you're ready to go deeper, Fully Loaded takes things a step further.

It starts Thursday evening with an opening reception, continues Friday morning with guided activities and small-group Rise & Shine Workshops led by Jenny Wood or Dr. Meg Myers Morgan—built for questions and real scenarios before the mainstage begins.

🎟️ Grab your early-bird Fully Loaded tickets before they are gone: ladieswholaunch.biz417.com/

Real leaders. Real mentorship. Real stakes.

Bryant Young requested Logan Aguirre as his mentor during The Legacy Network because she’d already done what he was about to do: buy the family business.

That’s the power of this program. Mentors aren’t randomly assigned. They’re matched to the leaders, the moments and the decisions that matter most.

Applications for the 2026–2027 cohort close May 31. Only 24 leaders are selected. legacynetwork.biz417.com
