The event Dec. 13 included presentation of the Legislator of the Year award to Kehoe and the Working for the Public Good to Brewer.

Lt. Gov. Kehoe was recognized for his 2022 initiative to link the Buy Missouri Program, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Missouri Association of Sheltered Workshop Managers, and the Missouri Association of Manufactures. Citing the value of workshops, he described the benefit this way: “This collaboration will benefit Missouri’s workforce development efforts, while promoting Missouri manufacturing, products and services.”
