A team this strong deserves a permanent place on the grid!!! ✨🌻🤍
Jaci Dewey-Hayes - Thank you for not only keeping me sane throughout the weekend, but for being absolutely incredible at managing the dressing room! From zipping and steaming to keeping everything running smoothly, your behind the scenes work makes all the difference! The girls are so lucky to have you there to help them feel confident and their very best before stepping on stage!
Katherine Foley & Ayanna - Thank you both for your incredible vision, kindness, and for loving on our contestants throughout rehearsals! I say it every year, but I truly never know how you’re going to top the production from the year before and then somehow, you completely blow it out of the water!! I am seriously in awe of your talent, creativity, vision, and the passion you pour into making this experience so special for our girls. You two truly are the dream team and I cannot wait to see what you dream up next!
Sandi - Not only are you the QUEEN of all things community service, but you always go above and beyond to keep our entire team organized, on track, and fed! You have this incredible ability to shower everyone around you with the most positive energy and somehow keep us all grounded - even in the most chaotic moments.
Anna & Aubrie Penfield - Thank you for pouring so much love, energy, and joy into our honeybee princess program! You made them feel so special, confident, and included every step of the way. Our little ladies are so lucky to have you cheering them on and making their Miss Kansas Volunteer experience so memorable - even during the chaos!
And to all of our volunteers - this weekend and show would not be possible without YOU! We are so incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and love you poured into our organization and our contestants.
And lastly, welcome to the family & 🌻
Every year just keeps getting better and better! Forever thankful to get to call this team mine and to get to serve as the Executive Director alongside these beautiful humans. Love you all ✨ Madi
