Governor's Military Council:

The Governor’s Military Council was created by Executive Order 07-05 and is chaired by the Governor of Kansas. The Council serves as a key partner with local communities, administration, key legislators, members of the Kansas congressional delegation, key business and military leaders to grow and optimize the military presence in Kansas, including recruitment and retention of new missions and force structure. It works to leverage this growth into additional defense related jobs. The 26-member council fosters cooperation between the installations and private and public sectors, and pursues initiatives to enhance the quality of life for all military personnel, active and retired. The council also assists in the development, coordination, and execution of strategy required by any future change in missions proposed by the Department of Defense. One line of effort is to pursue initiatives to enhance the quality of life for our service men an women, veterans, and their families.
