About Ozarks Alliance for Professional Organizations

Benefits of Belonging
Ozarks Alliance provides a clearinghouse for information of interest and use to women, and promotes professional women in the community.

Each member organization operates independently with its own bylaws, procedures, mission statement and goals. Yet, all share common goals of advancing women, either professionally or in the community. From time to time, member organizations may propose that Ozarks Alliance address various issues of significance, a process which can lead to development of position statements and/or activities. Ozarks Alliance member organizations have adopted a position statement on gender equity and created an audio-visual program on equity in pay and other compensation.

Members relax, network and enjoy varied programs at twice-yearly networking events. Member groups volunteer to share hosting duties for these events. Ozarks Alliance also distributes minutes of the meetings to delegates by electronic means.

Dues for an organization are $50 annually. Each group names a delegate to participate in board and committee meetings, which meet on the 4th Thursday of the month at Hebrews Coffee on Republic Road, Springfield, MO from 12-1.

Ozarks Alliance is a not-for-profit organization.  For more information contact the Alliance President, Colleen Neill, by e-mail at colleenneill@yahoo.com, by phone at 417.894.6036 or by snail mail at P O Box 8626, Springfield MO 65801-8626.
