🖼️ Business Spotlight: Mitchell Museum 🎨

Today our CEO group had the opportunity to visit the Mitchell Museum and hear from Hillary Esser about the story behind the museum and the Mitchell Foundation.

John and Eleanor Mitchell built their success in the oil industry and chose to give back to their community by investing in American art and creating something that would last long after them. Today, the museum holds $10–15 million worth of art and welcomes around 50,000 visitors each year, making it the #1 tourist attraction in the area.

A big takeaway from today was how success can create opportunities to impact others. The Mitchells turned their success into something meaningful for their community, and it was inspiring to see how their vision continues to make a difference today.

Thank you to Hillary Esser for sharing the story and showing us how leadership, generosity, and vision can create a lasting legacy.
