Join Us for a meeting of the Kearney Tourism Committee as we prepare for the FIFA World Cup 2026
 
The FIFA World Cup is coming to Kansas City in 2026, and the excitement (and opportunity) is building! The Kearney Chamber Tourism Committee is reshaping our monthly meetings to ensure we’re ready to welcome the world to our community.
Beginning this month, we are offering hybrid meetings—you can join us in person or virtually via Microsoft Teams. These meetings will feature timely updates from local and regional leaders who are shaping tourism, marketing, and economic development plans for our area, including:
  • Megan Sahlfeld, Clay County Tourism & Marketing Manager
  • Stacie Bratcher, Executive Director, Kearney Chamber of Commerce
  • Carolyn Yatsook, Economic Development Director, City of Kearney
  • Other local leaders and representatives
We’re also inviting strategic partners, Chamber members, and local industries—hotels, restaurants, attractions, and retailers—to hear updates, share insights, and collaborate on how Kearney can best prepare for this historic event. Everyone is invited to the table. 
📅 Date/Time: First Wednesday of the month at 10:00AM
📍 Location: Kearney Chamber of Commerce
💻 Virtual Option: see link below
Your perspective and participation are vital as we position Kearney to shine during the World Cup. We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation.

One of our very own chamber members, Redwood Financial Group, is putting on a free lunch and learn, and we are inviting you to attend! This will be held Thursday, March 5th from noon - 1pm at the Kearney Chamber of Commerce. If you are a business owner, office manager, HR director, or you work with your company's corporate benefits, this lunch and learn is for you. Redwood Financial Group will be consulting and sharing a program that your company can take immediate advantage of; this is NOT a sales pitch. The following will be discussed:

  • How to put additional payroll tax savings back to your bottom line
  • How to provide additional benefits for your employees without reducing their take-home pay or costing your bottom line 
  • How to better recruit and retain your employees
  • Much more! 
  • Please RSVP by Monday, March 2nd. We only have 10 slots available so first come, first served. We look forward to having you join us!

Who should attend:
Business owners, HR leaders, office managers, and anyone responsible for benefits now, or within the next 12 months.

Free to attend
🥪 Lunch provided by RedWood Health Insurance
⏱️ In and out in one hour—worth it

RSVP required (seating and lunches are limited).
