This year the MO-KAN chapter will be going virtual! So, meetings will be reduced to $5 for members and $10 for non-members.  This fee will be non-refundable, and proceeds will be used to support the chapter and the SFPE MO-KAN scholarship program.  The first virtual luncheon will be held on Thursday February 4th and presented by John Denhardt with AFSA. Details and registration coming soon.
 
If you come across any issues with the website updates please email us at: info@mokansfpe.org. Thank you for your patience! 

During the recent pandemic the Mo-Kan SFPE Executive Board has been meeting to discuss the future of the organization. Since we are not able to host in-person monthly meetings, we have developed a survey to collect data from our membership to determine the best way to meet the needs of our members. Please use the hyperlink below to fill out a short three question survey that is smart phone compatible. We greatly appreciate your feedback as it will help us to determine our next steps to determine meeting options as well as funding avenues.

We are also moving forward with our Chapter goal of awarding scholarships this year. Please encourage any students you know to submit applications. We have received two applications and plan to award scholarships for the Fall Semester!

As a reminder, proceeds from lunch, membership dues and fundraising allow us to provide these scholarships. We have continually been successful in awarding student scholarships and we want to ensure we can keep that tradition for years to come. Being able to give to students during the current pandemic has been identified as a strategic goal of the executive committee. With your help and some exploration into new options of fundraising, we plan to achieve this goal!

We want to thank you for all your continued support and will continue to provide updates as they are available.

Just a reminder that March 31st is the last day for early bird memberships. Please use the online portal under the join tab to take advantage of this offer. The usual $25 membership is reduced to $15! The link is also posted below!

​In light of recent events, concurrent with suggestions by the CDC and in our members’ best interests, we will be suspending all scheduled meetings to prevent the likely spread of COVID-19/20. While research related to the impact of COVID-19/20 (Coronavirus) is limited, serious precautions need to be taken until further direction is provided regarding this matter. We are diligently working on developing an online format to be able to present topics in a safe and convenient manner in which all interested parties will be able to attend from their respective computers/cell phones.
 
We acknowledge the inconvenience of this situation, but we all serve as key members in our industry; many as public servants with daily interactions with high-risk populations that we need to be cognizant of. Once we fully develop our online meeting format, we will announce our updated schedule to resume providing all our members with educational resources necessary to ensure they may continue their professional growth.
