What We Do
Great Northwest Day at the Capitol exists as a cooperative effort by northwest Missouri communities to unify and enhance our region’s image in Jefferson City and to pursue issues and legislation beneficial to the “Great Northwest.” For 20 years, citizens from 19 counties in Northwest Missouri have taken part in the Great Northwest Day at the Capitol event; an event that brings together over 300 citizens, locally elected officials and their many staff members and elected colleagues.
"When we work together we speak with one voice. It has been proven to be very powerful." Annette Weeks, Past GNW Chairperson
