Two area residents are appointed to serve on state advisory boards.
Governor Laura Kelly announced the appointments late last week. Kelly reappointed Jean Schodorf of Sedan to the State Historic Sites Board of Review. The Board review sand recommends nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and the Register of Historic Kansas Places, and also awards preservation planning and rehabilitation grants. Schodorf is a former state senator from Wichita and has also served on the USD 259-Wichita Board of Education before relocating to Sedan.
Kelly also appointed Duane Banzet of Neodesha to the Firefighter Memorial Advisory Board. This Board advises on matters concerning the Memorial to Kansas Firefighters on the State Capitol grounds and makes recommendations regarding appropriate activities memorializing or commemorating the services of firefighters in Kansas. Banzet is the former Fire Chief for Neodesha and currently serves on the Neodesha City Commission.
