Welcome our newest staff member!

Hi everyone! I’m Kim Korber, and I just started as the Marketing Assistant with Tourism on Monday, February 5th. My role includes overseeing the TravelKS gear store, partnership opportunities, and all things social media. If you have important and exciting announcements dropping on your socials be sure to let me know so I can boost it! 

I am a born and raised Kansan with a background in a little bit of everything. Most recently I worked as a Multimedia Specialist for a different state agency and prior to that I was a Social Media Specialist for a magazine company in northeast Kansas. I’m looking forward to working with you all and helping promote Kansas!

The New Way to Set Goals: Making The Most of Technology
Date:  Wednesday, February 14
Time:  1pm CST
 
Finally, a way to plan your year, your career, and even your life that is flexible, visual, emotional, and portable. In this webinar you will learn how to take a whole-brained approach to goals that is leaps and bounds better than the traditional (and left-brained) way we planned in the past. We’ll use technology as a tool to blend images, numbers, words, actions, milestones, and rewards to create a powerful plan that can be viewed, reviewed, and shared on a smart phone.
