Members advise state's leading small business group on key issues
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The National Federation of Independent Business, Missouri's leading small business association, has named Ted Wenzlick of St. Louis to its state Leadership Council.
Wenzlick leads The Key Co., a Kirkwood-based nutrition company founded in 1959. He joined NFIB/Missouri in 2002.
As a member of NFIB/Missouri's 25-member Leadership Council, Wenzlick will assist in developing the association's statewide agenda and building strategies to support small business throughout the state. Leadership Council members are nominated by either NFIB's state director or current members and elected by the council.
"There was no question about whether we wanted Ted to take on more of a leadership role in NFIB," said Brad Jones, state director of NFIB/Missouri. "Since he joined, he has worked hard to help small business owners across the state.
"The small business owners who serve on our state Leadership Council not only advise NFIB on key issues but also are strong advocates for small business, telling our story to state and federal lawmakers," Jones said. "Ted has a lot of energy, and that's going to help us promote and protect the right of our members to own, operate and grow their businesses in Jefferson City and Washington, D.C."
