Starline Brass president and chief financial officer Barbara Hayden took center stage as public officials and community leaders joined Economic Development Sedalia-Pettis County representatives for a pair of announcements on Monday.
Hayden and her husband, Robert, who is Starline’s CEO and vice president of marketing, were joined by about 30 people at the EDSPC offices to recognize Hayden, who was honored with a Governor’s Minority and Small Business Award by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon at a ceremony Friday in St. Louis.
