DID YOU KNOW? •Did you ever hear of the Kansas City Value Proposition? That’s what we call the competitive edge companies enjoy in the professional-services realm here—law and accounting firms, engineering companies and more. They compete favorably with coastal firms thanks to the considerably lower cost of doing business here. •Need a lawyer? You can find one from among the 1,675 working for Kansas City’s 25 biggest law firms in 2022. Those firms are part of national and global legal-services communities with nearly 17,100 lawyers on staff. •Only three chambers in the United States operate a licensed World Trade Center, and one of them is the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. It’s part of a global World Trade Center network with 330 members.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A GREAT LEADER?

Ingram’s editors have studied what it takes to be a great leader for many years, under many extraordinary instructors. We can think of no more important initiative than to serve as stewards of the 40 Under Forty program, and to dedicate efforts each year to research hundreds of the region’s most accomplished young leaders and to introduce several of the best to our readers. We hope you’ll agree that this year’s 40 Under Forty class meets the same pinnacle standards as the 24 classes that preceeded them. In April we’ll celebrate the 25th year of the program.
