That’s a wrap on a busy and productive summer of KSAE events! ☀️

We kicked things off with our Gubernatorial Meet & Greet, bringing together candidates for Kansas governor and members of the association community for an opportunity to connect and engage ahead of the upcoming election.

Next, we hosted our Kansas House General Election Preview, giving attendees valuable insight into key races and what to watch as we head toward November.

A huge THANK YOU to our Election Series sponsors for helping make these opportunities possible: Kansas Hospital Association, Kansas B**r Wholesalers Association, Citadel Public Affairs, Kansas Association of School Boards, Capitol Strategies, and the Kansas Medical Society!

To top it all off, we held an incredibly beneficial CAE educational session on association marketing, presented by Compass Marketing in Topeka. Thank you to the Compass team for sharing their expertise and providing practical strategies our association professionals can put to work!

And we’re not slowing down yet! 🎉 Up next: the KSAE Annual Conference & Expo on November 10, with our pre-conference social on November 9!

Registration is OPEN, and we can’t wait to bring everyone together for two days of education, networking, fresh ideas, and connection. We’ll see you in November!

What an incredible afternoon at KSAE's Gubernatorial Meet & Greet!

One of the unique benefits of KSAE membership is access to intimate, meaningful conversations with the leaders shaping Kansas' future. Today's event provided a rare opportunity for members to hear directly from gubernatorial candidates and their running mates in a small-group setting, allowing for candid discussion, thoughtful questions, and personal connections that simply aren't possible at larger campaign events.

A sincere thank you to the candidates and campaign representatives who joined us today:
• Senator Ethan Corson
• Senator Cindy Holscher
• Representative Ken Rahjes
• Senate President Ty Masterson
• Philip Sarnecki & Joy Eakins
• Commissioner Vicki Schmidt

We also extend our gratitude to our event sponsors for helping make this program possible:
• Citadel Public Affairs
• Kansas B**r Wholesalers Association
• Kansas Association of School Boards

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success!
