A big thank you to our sponsors:
The July meeting of the Mo-Kan NAMA chapter saw Lynn Parman, vice president of the life science and technology department of the Kansas City Area Development Council, speak to over 40 NAMA members. Parman spoke about how the Greater Kansas City area is known as the Animal Health Corridor.
However, the Kansas City area is not resting on its laurels. Parman heads up the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor (KCAHC), an organization made up of the Kansas City Area Development Council, Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and Life Sciences Institute. KCAHC helps recruit new animal health associations and companies to the Kansas City area.
