Join the CSDGKC Story of Success

Under the guidance of Executive Director Dr. Kenny Southwick and Board President Dr. Jeremy Tucker, CSDGKC has become the go-to organization for K-12 public education throughout the region.  CSDGKC represents 35 school districts and provides cutting-edge, state-of-the-art collaborative professional development services.  CSDGKC serves rural, suburban, and urban communities from 13 counties in an area stretching from St. Joseph in the north to Adrian in the South.  Our member districts represent over 180,000 children and 30,000 employees.

Ten members of the Missouri Senate and 40 members of the Missouri House have direct connections to CSDGKC member districts.  When the need arises and agreement exists, CSDGKC allows school districts to speak as one voice on major issues of the day and provides a single contact point for gathering information, exploring new projects, and developing business opportunities on a regional scale. Our lobbying efforts make a difference each day in Jefferson City as the legislature works through the hard issues of governance and finance.

As a result of our growth, success, and the commitments of member districts, CSDGKC is able to offer affiliate memberships to organizations and vendors.

Benefits of membership include:

  • Partnerships with the school districts and people with whom you hope to do business
  • Heightened awareness of your organization; its products and services
  • Benefits of membership include:  Placement of your name on publications that are actually read and seen by district decision makers
  • Affiliation with, and participation in, major CSDGKC events
  • Opportunities to communicate directly with education opinion leaders

Membership is your “letter of introduction” to 34 CSDGKC school districts.

Affiliate membership will not mean endorsement by CSDGKC for an affiliate’s programs or services.  Affiliate membership will be awarded by board action.  Membership will give those who work with, support and seek to do business with CSDGKC member districts, a point of connection and involvement with CSDGKC’s mission and goals.
