Spotlight On Centurions – Jessie McKinney

A picture is worth a thousand words: yes, Jessie McKinney loves to travel! That’s just one of the Shook, Hardy & Bacon attorney’s many interests. Jessie is a member of the Centurions Fall Class of 2019, where she is currently the co-chairman of the Kansas City History Task Force and a member of the Issues Up Close Committee. She currently serves as a board member of the Young Friends of Art at The Nelson-Atkins Museum, the Charlotte Street Foundation, and the Young Lawyers Section of the Lawyers Association of Kansas City. Jessie also volunteers in the community, including helping with Project Uplift’s homeless outreach and Operation Breakthrough.
