Thank you for celebrating 30 Years of SMCOG

Thank you to all who came to our 30th Year Anniversary Party and helped us honor our unique partnership between the Southwest Missouri Council of Governments and Missouri State University’s Center for Resource Planning and Management (CRPM), and CRPM’s 40th anniversary as an applied research center at MSU.

Through the generosity of our donors, we were able to successfully establish the Fred and Dianne May Scholarship, MSU’s first scholarship dedicated for students majoring in Community and Regional Planning worth over $5,000.
