Ambassador Entry--Linda Sue Meyer

Why is community involvement important?

I have worked for Tyson’s for four years and I have learned that without our community here in Sedalia, Missouri working as a whole that we wouldn’t have a Tyson plant or any kind of a community environment. Each person in a community is a valuable asset. Without their courage to go out every day and work with others through community involvement any town or city would not exist. The community in a small or large town basically becomes the most important part of where we live. It gives you the initiative to learn about new jobs, progress in your company, help other in charitable organizations and get involved in community activities.

I have lived in the United States all my life and I have learned that believing in your self and getting involved in your community is an every day challenge, for example a the Tyson plant here in Sedalia we have a wide range of training programs from learning Spanish to just contributing to a team member through donations for a health reason or tradegy in the family. These matters are small but are part of every day community life.

The center of every town is the community! By working with others through team involvement we can grow through strong business and community partnership and through good solid relationships with others. Sedalia has grown in the last ten years because of the efforts of all the people in our community. That is why community life is so important!
