In the midst of a global pandemic, colleagues from across the state continued to find ways to work collaboratively while being innovative in their approach to effect positive change in government. This year the Show Me Challenge was presented virtually for the first time! After receiving numerous pitches from team members across state government, nine finalist teams were selected the fourth cycle of the Show Me Challenge. The judges considered the pitches’ quality, practicality, and potential for impact. Finalist teams presented their ideas during an intense competition at The Show Me Challenge presentation pitch on December 11, 2020. We look forward to Cycle 5 coming in the fall of 2021!
Congratulations to the winners!
