Dr. Willie E. Scott, Jr. the Executive Director of Wichita United, presented an exceptional program at the Park City Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting this month titled, “The Power of Unity”. In a presentation tailored to business owners, Dr. Scott hit a home run with our Chamber of Commerce group. By offering an “invitation to partner” with them, he effectively demonstrated how business owners who embrace diversity and inclusion in their business and employment hiring practices, can create an expanded customer base and at the same time play a significant role in dismantling racism. Not only is practicing diversity and inclusion good for business, but the cultural diversity it creates enriches our communities, and it is the right thing to do! Our hats go off to Dr. Scott for his fine instructional presentation. The Park City Chamber of Commerce heartily recommends his presentation to other business groups that want to build a business environment that creates the economic uplift that is possible when everyone in the marketplace wins.

From the Wichita Pachyderm Club this week: Candidates for the board of USD 259, the Wichita public school district. This was recorded October 4, 2019. In board district 3, incumbent Ernestine Krehbiel is running unopposed, so this event did not include that district. In board district 4, the candidates are James W. Kilpatrick, Jr. and Stan Reeser (incumbent). For the at-large board district, which covers the entire school district, the candidates are Sheril Logan (incumbent) and Joseph Shepard. Of note, the boundaries of the Wichita school district are not the same as the City of Wichita boundaries. Substantial parts of the city lie in other districts such as the Maize, Goddard, Andover, and Derby school districts, while the Wichita district includes all or parts of Bel Aire, Kechi, and Park City. Also, while candidates for a specific school board district must live within that district, voters in the entire Wichita school district will see all board districts on their ballot. The district offers this map. ## Shownotes * Ernestine Krehbiel page at USD259.org. * James Kilpatrick on Facebook. * Stan Reeser on Facebook. * Sheril Logan on Facebook. * Joseph Shepard on Facebook.
