Jason Hynson introduced Jami on Jan. 22.  Her cosponsor is Margo Spilde.

Jami is in charge of business development for Mouery’s Flooring on West Battlefield Road in Springfield, tasked with increasing revenue as well as developing and implementing long-term growth strategies.  She took that job in the fall of 2025 after working as a senior account executive for 417 Magazine for 11 years.

Jami was born and raised in Lockwood.   She earned a degree in marketing at Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU) and worked in both the Missouri State Capitol and the U.S. Capitol while she was in college.  She lived in St. Louis for 12 years before moving back to southwest Missouri.

Jami’s community service includes serving on the boards of Victory Mission and Redeemer Lutheran Church, and on the advisory board of Least of These.  Her faith is central to who she is and how she lives.  At her core, she believes success is measured by how many people you help along the way.  She finds her greatest fulfillment in serving others, building relationships, and giving back — which makes Rotary feel a lot like home.

Jami loves to eat breaded cashew chicken and enjoys having coffee with just about anyone, but would really enjoy a face-to-face conversation with Jesus.  She lives in Nixa with her husband, John, and their two children, Molly and Logan, who are students at Liberty University.  Her family loves boating, tubing and hanging out with friends on Table Rock Lake.  She also likes shopping, running and decorating.

Carrie Henry introduced Tracy on Nov. 13.  Her cosponsor is Joe Daues.

Tracy is the director of Sales and Marketing at Hotel Vandivort.  She had nearly 15 years of sales and marketing jobs before taking that job in 2024.  She says she firmly believes God placed her in that job with purpose, because the hotel’s culture and deep community involvement perfectly align with her values.  She takes great pride in helping create memorable experiences for visitors.

Tracy grew up in Springfield and attended Missouri State University – West Plains and Lindenwood University, playing volleyball at both.  Fore more than 10 years, she’s shared her passion for volleyball as a club coach, mentoring athletes between ages 12 and 18.  Her favorite group to coach is the 14-year-olds because that’s a time of tremendous growth, both mentally and physically.  She finds deep purpose in helping her players build confidence, character, and faith.  She also likes the athletes to see the love of Christ reflected in her leadership.

Tracy’s community service includes the Sertoma Club and the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Committee, where she served a term as co-chair.  In that role, she led ribbon cuttings and celebrated businesses and leaders on some of their most exciting days.  She will serve on the Board of Directors for the Springfield Hotel Lodging Association beginning in 2026.  In this position, she will support collaboration between hotels, tourism partners, and the broader business community.

Tracy says faith and community remain at the center of everything she does.  Outside her career and volunteer work, she is a proud mom to three pups – Dexter, Dolly, and Dwight – who fill her life with joy and laughter in their home in east Springfield.
