LeadingAge Kansas is now accepting applications for individuals interested in serving on the Public Policy Committee for 2026–2027. 

This committee plays a vital role in shaping our advocacy efforts by helping identify key issues impacting providers across the continuum of care, recommending legislative priorities, and serving as a sounding board for our advocacy team throughout the year and during the legislative session.

  • Monthly meetings (May–December)  
  • Weekly meetings during legislative session (January–April, typically Fridays)  
  • Opportunities to engage directly in advocacy efforts  

Participation will be limited to approximately 15 individuals to ensure meaningful discussion and engagement.
