Kansas University’s new provost and executive vice chancellor picked up an additional post this month: board member for the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp.

Richard Lariviere is among five new KTEC board members appointed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Lariviere started work at KU on June 1, after serving as dean of liberal arts at the University of Texas.

KTEC’s board also has new officers.

Doug Brush, founder of Brush Art Corp. in Downs, is the new chairman for KTEC, the organization he joined as a board member in 2000.

Linda Reinhardt, of Erie, is KTEC’s vice chairman. She and her husband operate a agricultural production operation in southeast Kansas.

KTEC is a private/public partnership established by the state of Kansas to promote technology-based economic development.
