Be committed to the team, open communication, and considering new ideas from anyone. A Message From the Chairman FY2017 was a record year for Missouri Partnership. Our top line results are measured in new jobs, annual payroll and investment created by the projects we win. Working with the Missouri Department of Economic Development and economic development organizations across the state, we closed 24 deals that will create more than $575 million in new capital investment, almost $200 million in new annual payroll, and nearly 4,000 new jobs—all three of these totals are the highest ever for Missouri Partnership. We launched a new brand on July 1, 2016, and a new web presence in August. These were the foundation for a complete upgrade of our digital outreach strategy, which targets corporate decision makers around the world within Mike Deggendorf Missouri’s key industries. The results have been very encouraging. Chairman of the Board of Directors Our team understands we are in an intense global competition for new investment and jobs, and looks at everything we do through the lens of our Purpose Statement: to increase economic prosperity throughout the state by attracting new jobs and investment to Missouri. This past year has seen not only continued success in the regions surrounding our two largest metros, but also success throughout the state in Springfield, Warrensburg, Columbia and Pettis County. We were presented with some severe budget challenges toward the end of FY2017, though I believe we’re now on solid footing. The strong support through all this from around the state and the Governor’s Office was tremendous. In FY2018, we will continue to build on the new brand and strategically select our outreach opportunities—both online and in person. We will continue to build on Missouri’s legacy strengths in logistics and distribution, automotive, aerospace, financial services and food solutions, while also promoting our emerging leadership in health innovation, agtech and energy storage. And we will continue to work with our economic development partners around the state in order to deliver a well-coordinated, customer-first approach to business recruitment that is efficient, always confidential, and highly effective. Missouri has great things in store, and we are honored to serve our entire state to help attract companies from across the globe that create jobs and investment that benefit every citizen.
