The Osage Group has been renamed to the Mid-Missouri Group. This action is being taken to respect the Osage Nation’s wishes, heritage, and contributions to our country. To further our understanding and execution of diversity and inclusion goals, the Group is starting a book club. The first book is “Supreme Inequality”.
