Welcome Our New Staff Members!
Welcome the newest addition to the Kansas Travel Information Center in Goodland, Elizabeth “Liz” Griffin! She has been hired as one of our part-time tourist counselors.
Liz comes to us with enthusiasm to learn about Kansas attractions and excited join us at the center. Liz retired from the United States Postal Service after a long and successful career in Littleton, Colorado. She and her husband Bill moved to Goodland in 2022, and have since become active members in the community. Her background and enthusiasm are sure to be an asset to our efforts in promoting the beauty and charm of Kansas to travelers.
My name is Kody Hardman, and I am thrilled to to be the new Tourism Grant and Fiscal Manager. As a Topeka native, I have a deep appreciation for my home state and its unique offerings. After graduating from Washburn University School of Business, I've spent several years traveling across Kansas in my previous professional roles.
Most recently, I worked with Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Energy (DOE) programs, focusing on state-level compliance. When I’m not crunching numbers or navigating compliance, you’ll find me outdoors, soaking up all the natural beauty and fun Kansas has to offer. I’m excited to collaborate with all of you to promote and showcase our state. Looking forward to working together!
