Our CEO Young Professionals had the distinct honor of visiting with The Honorable Will Stephens, proud Mayor of Murphysboro, IL.

Mayor Stephens shared valuable insight into the structure of the city, explaining how revenue is generated to keep operations running. He also highlighted his responsibility in appointing the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and members of various committees.

What stood out most was his encouragement to our young professionals:
💡 “Never be intimidated by your elected officials and never feel like you’re bothering them—they are there to serve you!”
💡 “Don’t run for office to be something, but to do something.”

We are grateful for his wisdom and passion for leadership that empowers the next generation! 🙌🏾
