Former Dexter resident Brian Thompson was recently selected by regional peers to serve on the Missouri Economic Development Council (MEDC) Board of Directors.
MEDC is the authoritative voice on economic development and related issues in Missouri. A statewide, nonprofit association of economic development professionals and community leaders, MEDC has been the unified voice of Missouri economic developers since 1979. Each year, seven different MEDC districts elect district directors to leadership roles to help unite members within their respective boundaries. Thompson was one of two professionals picked to serve MEDC District 6, which covers 26 counties in southwest Missouri.
He is a 1999 graduate of Dexter High School and earned his associate of arts degree in pre-journalism from Three Rivers Community College (TRCC) in Poplar Bluff. He transferred to Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Ark., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism with an emphasis in public relations in 2003. He is currently the president/chief executive officer of Lebanon Regional Economic Development, Inc. (Lebanon-REDI).
“It is an honor to be chosen to a district leadership position within MEDC District 6,” said Thompson. “The opportunity to network with peers within the economic development realm is critical to becoming a successful professional for both my community and the state of Missouri as a whole.”
MEDC drives economic growth through program initiatives and alliances with other economic development entities. This collaboration gives MEDC members access to industry-leading professional development, public policy, legislation and marketing communications programs. Whether working independently or in cooperation with partners, MEDC, its members and professional staff are effective, efficient and reliable.
Thompson is the son of Jimmy and Thelma Thompson of Dexter.

Dexter Police Department’s August/Labor Day Crackdown DWI Enforcement Crackdown
‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ Enforcement Campaign a Success
Dexter, Missouri - Declaring Dexter's participation in the national August/Labor Day Holiday Crackdown “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” substance–impaired driving crackdown a major success, Dexter Police report that 1 substance-impaired driving arrests and 33 citations were made during the enforcement period, which ran from August 19-September 5, 2016. Dexter Officer's conducted 63 traffic stops during this campaign.
“I am proud of our Officer's for their hard work and dedication to making our region’s roadways safer,” said Lieutenant Benton. “Substance-impaired driving is more than a reckless choice by a few individuals,” he said. “Each year, substance-impaired driving costs the lives of thousands on America’s highways.
Preliminary data shows in 2015, there were 196 fatalities and 663 serious injuries that involved at least one substance-impaired driver. That equates to one substance-impaired driving fatality every 1-3/4 days.
During the holiday August 21 – September 7, 2015, five (5) people were killed and fifty-three (53) seriously injured which involved at least one substance-impaired driver. Dexter Police Department joined forces with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies across the country in this year’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.
