The Flint Hills Regional Council Executive Committee has re-organized and elected new Officers.

The Committee voted Friday to elect Robert Boyd, Riley County Commissioner the next President of the Committee. He told JCPost that the Regional Council does have a lot synergy and there are a lot of people that want to make it work, but there are some significant challenges ahead of them.

“We’ve got to find reoccuring funding for us, so that we’re not dependent on local tax payers to support this. This has got to be a self supporting 501 (c) (3). I think we have some opportunities to do that, Scott and I are going to work hard to get that done,” said Boyd.

Scott Briggs, Lyon County Commissioner was elected Vice President and Honey Grant, Grandview Plaza Vice Mayor was elected to serve as the Secretary. Stan Hartwich, Pottawatomie County Commissioner will serve as Treasurer.
