The Kansas Association of Counties is more than a professional organization — it is a lifeline for county governments navigating complex responsibilities, shifting economic landscapes, and rising citizen expectations. By combining advocacy, education, and technical support, KAC empowers counties to fulfill their missions and prepare for the future. Whether it’s guiding policy debates in Topeka, training county commissioners in Wichita, or helping emergency managers respond to a wildfire, the association is there, ensuring counties are never alone in their work. “Counties are where the government meets the people,” Bruce reflects. “When we support our counties, we’re supporting every Kansan. That’s the story we want to keep telling.” 24 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 10
