In our debut episode of Leawood 360, we sit down with April Bishop, president of the Leawood Historic Commission, and Colonel Ron Wright, a U.S. Army veteran and longtime Leawood resident. Together, they share the story behind an inspiring campaign to build a Veterans Memorial at Leawood City Hall.

From the vision that sparked the idea to the fundraising efforts now underway, learn how this project aims to create a lasting tribute to those who served, and how you can be part of bringing it to life.

We’re excited to announce the premiere of Leawood 360, the City of Leawood’s official podcast, launching this May! Hosted by Strategic Communications Director Beth Breitenstein, each episode offers a full-circle view of the people, policies, and programs that shape life in our community—from behind-the-scenes looks at city services to stories from the neighbors who make Leawood shine.
