Greetings Fellow Broadcasters!

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s KAB Convention and Hall of Fame! It was a wonderful gathering, filled with engaging presentations, lively discussions and well-deserved recognition of our industry’s finest. Your presence made this year’s event truly special, and I hope you left feeling inspired and energized for the future of Kansas broadcasting.

During our Annual Meeting, I had the pleasure of welcoming, Matt Althouse (Eagle) to the KAB Board; and current BOD member Roxanne Marati (Audacy) is rotating onto the executive committee. Additionally, I’m excited to announce that three of our current board members, Kyle Bauer, Chris Shank and Justin Fluke, will be returning for a second term. Their expertise and dedication will continue to strengthen our efforts in the coming years.

I’m also happy to share the success of our KAB Foundation Benefit Raffle and Live Auction, which raised nearly $2,000 to support the Foundation’s work. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this fundraiser—it’s your generosity that fuels our mission to support and develop Kansas’s broadcasting talent. Remember, we’re still seeking 50 donors to the KAB 20 for Tomorrow giving program. See more information below.

Thank you again for your continued support and dedication. I look forward to all we’ll accomplish together in the rest of 2024!
