Symposium is final sesquicentennial event

The commemoration of Kansas’ 150th birthday will wrap up with a symposium discussing the state’s future.

The Kansas in Question Symposium will be Dec. 5 and 6 at the Hyatt Regency Wichita.

The Wichita Eagle reported that groups at the symposium will discuss six areas: education, employment, the environment, health, rural Kansas and urban Kansas.

Gov. Sam Brownback is expected to address the symposium. And James Chung, president of Reach Advisors, a strategy and research firm based in New York, will give a keynote address on Kansas demographics.
