About Us

The Administrative Assistants of Kansas Cities was formed on January 7, 1992 at a meeting attended by 17 assistants from Kansas cities. The organization was formed from a desire to promote and improve proficiency of its members and public administration in Kansas, and to provide a network of information, ideas, and support to its members.

On May 7, 1992, the Kansas Association of City/County Management voted to endorse and support AAKC. At that point, a delegation from the organization approached the Kansas League of Municipalities to request affiliation. Administrative Assistants of Kansas Cities became an affiliate association of the League of Kansas Municipalities on July 18, 1992. In 2024, AAKC opened membership to include county administrative assistants.

The Rest of the Story...

Chanute, Independence, Iola, and Overland Park are just a few of the municipalities that were involved with starting this amazing organization. When AAKC started, some of the short term goals were to have city managers speak at their meetings along with other speakers that members of the organization would benefit from. Two of the long term goals included getting enough support from each members city manager to eventually start paying dues to support the organization for speakers and future meetings. The second goal was to get the support from the League of Kansas Municipalities, this goal would be met on July 18, 1992.

The organization meets semi-annually at various locations across the State. A two day conference is held the first week in April and a one day meeting is held the second Friday in September. Members have an opportunity to participate in classes on various career-related topics, enjoy invaluable networking, and experience what other municipalities have to offer.
