Kansas Association of Counties

Our mission is to advance the public interest by promoting effective and responsive county government.

The Kansas Association of Counties is a quasi-public agency that promotes effective, responsive county government in Kansas. Founded in 1975 as an instrumentality of its member counties, the Association serves county governments through:

• Legislative representation
• Technical assistance
• Leadership
• Professional education

The Association's mission is grounded in state law and shaped by the leadership of its thirteen member governing board.

📍Counties provide critical services to their constituents, even when funding and requirements are often controlled outside the county level.

📊 That is why KAC offers the Budgeting and Finance class through our Foundations in County Government professional development program. This course is designed for county officials and staff to strengthen practical budgeting skills for navigating local priorities, required services, and constraints outside of local control.

📩 Look for details soon on two more of these popular Budgeting and Finance class offerings. To confirm your subscription to Kansas Association of Counties newsletters, email info@kansascounties.
