the GMCF Community Hour, asheard on News Radio KMAN.
And good morning again.
Welcome to the GMCF CommunityHour here on News Radio KMAN.
(00:20):
Jack Lindquist is joining ushere for the program today on
behalf of the Flint HillsRegional Leadership Program.
And it seems like Jack and I,whenever we get together, we
just don't stay focused.
SPEAKER_01 (00:33):
Yeah, it's easy to go back in time and reflect on
our time together startedin '82.
So uh we have lots of stories toshare.
SPEAKER_00 (00:43):
We do.
We do.
And but that's not why we'rehere.
No.
But uh Jack and I, um, you know,we had this wonderful rapport
with each other and uh greatfriendship for 45 years almost.
Yep.
Gosh, that's a long time to knowsomebody that's still like her.
Yeah.
But uh yeah, you have uh been inso many different leadership
(01:07):
capacities over the years.
You know, you came to Manhattanas a 4-H guy.
Or started with extension in thepast, started with extension in
Abilene.
That's where we first gottogether, and then you were in
Lawrence, and then you came backhere to work in the state office
and started uh Carl, KansasAgricultural Leadership Program.
And then after uh you retiredfrom that, you became the
(01:28):
director for the Flint HillsRegional Leadership Program,
among other things that you andLindy have your hands in.
Lindy's his wife, by the way.
SPEAKER_01 (01:38):
She's the president of the Flint Hills Volunteer
Center uh now.
And so uh our board service uhis all over the place in the in
the community and outside of thecommunity.
So it's great to to give backand to walk the talk.
SPEAKER_00 (01:52):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
Well, Flint Hills RegionalLeadership Program, give me the
30-minute elevator speech aboutwhat it is.
Well, it in 30 seconds.
SPEAKER_01 (02:00):
Started in 92, 93, it builds uh leaders through
collaboration, inclusion, andservice to community.
Uh so we have had uh 657graduates from the region.
We've expanded the region by twomore counties since I've been
director.
We now include Walbunsey Countyand Morris County as an
associate member.
So it includes Gary, Riley,Pottawatomie County, and then
(02:22):
those other two counties toinclude more of the rural Flint
Hills in our programming.
SPEAKER_00 (02:28):
What is an associate membership as opposed to, you
know, what Riley, Gary, and andPottawatomie counties.
SPEAKER_01 (02:37):
Yeah, our our bylaws uh restrict what counties are
participating in the programbecause we have requests from
outside of the area constantly.
And we have to sort of draw aline.
And Morris County uh continuesto be uh a very important part
of our regional economy.
Uh, as an associate member, theycan provide applicants to the
(03:00):
program, but they don't have aseat at the table for the board.
SPEAKER_00 (03:03):
Okay.
All right.
They still get a lot of benefitsout of it, and they certainly
does too, because they'rebuilding leadership.
And, you know, you're seeing,gosh, what's happening in
Council Grove?
And, you know, you even gofurther south, you know, in
Chase County.
There's some neat things thatare happening there, but it's
neat to see how they'reembracing the uh the
establishment of the Flint Hillsas a as a tourist Mecca.
(03:26):
That's right.
And uh Council Grove has justreally got a lot of need synergy
going.
SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
There's uh a new generational uh interest in not
only sustaining but growing thecommunities.
Yeah.
And they're reaching out uh toall of the uh neighboring
communities, and they're part ofthe Flint Hills Regional
Council.
And so because of that, theyhave these uh synergistic
linkages that help them learn,and that's what we plug into the
(03:54):
leadership program is theimportance to know more about
where we've been, uh, wherewe're at present, and what we
need to make life and livelihoodbetter in this region.
Okay.
Well, what's in store for theupcoming year?
Well, this class uh that we arecurrently in the 25-26 class has
one more session.
(04:15):
Uh, this past week we finishedthe Manhattan-Riley County
session.
And uh technically we haveTopeka in January, and then they
graduate February 5th.
But because of the federalshutdown, Fort Riley was not
able to conduct their session inNovember.
And so we're gonna do thatextracurricular.
(04:36):
It will be in March after theygraduate, and they'll still uh
get to do a lot of the thingsthat they were gonna do before,
but uh we're waiting until aftersome of the more wild winter
weather has passed us.
We hope.
SPEAKER_00 (04:49):
Do you get to go over and blow stuff up?
SPEAKER_01 (04:51):
Uh actually, they uh the class members have been
afforded the opportunity to getin simulators from helicopters
to uh tanks and Bradleys andthings like that, and also
experience uh observation livefire demonstrations with the
tanks.
Oh, what a great experience.
SPEAKER_00 (05:07):
So they that's almost worth the price of a
mission in its own right, isn'tit?
SPEAKER_01 (05:10):
Absolutely.
They get an immersion into whatit's like to have a job either
with the civilian supportnetwork or and that we do have
several class members that workover there.
Uh over the years, we've had uha large number of participants,
and Garrison sees the regionalprogram, leadership program as a
(05:30):
great training experience forthe people that want they want
to rise up through theirleadership ranks.
SPEAKER_00 (05:35):
Okay.
All right.
Well, this is um, I mean,there's all kinds of things, you
know, you've had some greatsuccess stories out of the
people that have come throughthe program.
I mean, we've seen a lot ofpeople that have uh gone on to
be elected officials on alllevels, local, state, et cetera.
You've had some that uh I thinkhave run for, you know, federal
(05:59):
offices and you know, there andyou help establish that sense of
community through the work thatyou're doing.
SPEAKER_01 (06:06):
Yeah, the importance of collaboration is not just in
concepts and ideas of what wecan do differently, but it's
also building networks ofsupport for uh organizations
that are are making adifference.
And uh a great example was whenwe uh got to visit and actually
we drove past and learned aboutthe Child Development Center.
(06:28):
And Natalie Gordon was on theplanning board for that.
She had uh recently had a uh acouple of uh twin children and
needed uh extra support for thatuh uh child care.
And lo and behold, we didn'thave anything, uh, not enough um
uh of the system in Manhattan tohelp people uh that needed the
(06:52):
help uh for raising kids andworking uh as their their lives
required.
And so uh she just had thisbrainstorm along with a number
of other people that they neededto come up with this incubator
for creating child developmentservices.
And it was nice to see from whather experience was back when she
(07:14):
was in the class, and her umtestimonials and her pleas for
people to understand theimportance of this coming to
fruition and seeing that childdevelopment center in presence
now is just uh uh make it's veryrewarding to see that uh what
starts out as just an idea andthen spreads, and it's a great
(07:36):
concept, it's adopted and it'sin place.
That means a lot.
SPEAKER_00 (07:40):
I think it's one of the great success stories for
community service that we uhthat that we haven't just seen
here, but you know, on a on avast basis, because there's you
know some organizations thatsaid, hey, we have a need here.
Yeah.
It's a and and and uh this isyou know it's it's it's it's a
(08:00):
wonderful thing, but there'smore to do.
SPEAKER_01 (08:03):
Right.
It's that whole process issomething that is um being
duplicated, not just regionally,but across the country where
they have the same exact need.
And other organizations and andother situations are calling for
a better response uh to localneeds, and those things are
being implemented using theseskills.
SPEAKER_00 (08:24):
And that's a great example of a success story
through the Flint Hills RegionalLeadership Program that has
impacted our community in a mostpositive way.
SPEAKER_01 (08:34):
Yeah, that the number of people that are
involved, not necessarilyrunning for office, but getting
on boards and councils andadvisories uh is uh just a
multiplied domino effect.
And uh, the more they see theimpact that somebody else has,
the more they want to getinvolved.
And I actually have alums thatapproach me and they say, I'm
ready for some leadership roles.
(08:56):
So what do you suggest?
And and I am in the uh I I getto hear from a lot of different
leaders across the area thatthey need board members, and I
can say, well, here's somebodythat has the interest that
you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00 (09:09):
We talked a little bit about those that have gone
on and served in electedcapacities.
Now, I I have not gone throughthe Flint Hills regional
leadership program, and it'smostly a time thing for me.
Um but you know, the Manhattanleadership program, you know,
you've there there areparallels.
(09:30):
There are there were severalpeople, you know, in my class,
you know, that that went on andserved in an elected capacity.
Uh Tom Phillips was in my class.
And this was a while, uh, youknow, just shortly just shortly
after my wife passed, Tom and Iwere roomies up in uh Topeka.
And he listened to me cry untilthree in the morning.
(09:50):
So I love the dude.
Uh Lauren Peppard is in theclass.
And and I and I think therethere's somebody else that, you
know, went on to elected.
Bruce Mead uh was uh in one ofthe person.
Yeah, there's a there's a lot ofthose.
And and that is consistent withwhat you're doing here with the
Flint Hills Regional LeadershipProgram.
You've got a lot of people thatgo on to elected office.
(10:12):
Yes.
SPEAKER_01 (10:12):
Uh they just are more comfortable uh building
that coalition of people that uhare like-minded.
Uh they know that there are waysthat we can solve some of these
problems.
The Third Street Development uhis an example uh that uh if it
weren't for the Flint HillsDiscovery Center being
established as the anchor for uhthe uh the special taxation
(10:36):
programs that went into effectbeing uh a city investment, none
of that would exist without thatcity investment.
And so you can look at it nowcompared to what it was uh in
the uh back in the 90s and priorto that.
Uh dramatic, dramatic change anda great boost for the economy.
Yeah.
(10:56):
A lot of great stories, a lot ofgreat success stories.
Yes.
Let's talk about the comingseason.
Yeah, we are uh in this, ofcourse, already of uh recruiting
the interest.
We've established the curriculumfor the next class, the dates
and locations, et cetera, andthe topics.
Uh so that class timetable isavailable on our website to look
(11:18):
at to see if they are able tomake it work in their work
calendars and personal lives.
And also the application periodwill start on May 15th and run
through July 15th.
So it's all online at FHRL.org.
They can scope it out now andcheck out the dates and see some
of the things that have happenedin the past, see the pictures of
(11:40):
our uh alums from past years,and uh then be ready to get
online and apply if they want tobe part of that next class mix.
SPEAKER_00 (11:49):
FHRLP, that's an acronym for Lakeland Hills
Regional Leadership Program.
Thank you.
I figured that out on my own,right?
But you know, to have you say itout loud, reinforcing it, that
makes it all the better.
So all those inform and and youhave a unique process of
applying to join.
We do.
SPEAKER_01 (12:07):
Uh they have to have experience in leadership roles
already.
It's it's not a primer.
It's it's this is for people whohave been in leadership roles
already and they want to advancebeyond where they are right now.
But they want to build uh anetwork throughout this region,
not just locally.
And so that's the strength ofthe program is to regionalize
(12:29):
all of these concepts so thatwhen they come up with uh an
idea, uh it spreads throughthroughout the region, not just
uh on the local or communitybasis.
All right.
What's the enrollment time?
Uh May 15th through July 15.
And it is an online applicationand it includes video clip
introduction.
(12:50):
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (12:51):

getting people enticed to joinup, sign up for the Flint Hills
Regional Leadership Program.
SPEAKER_01 (12:58):
We encourage people to also go on Facebook and uh
search for Flint JuniorLeadership Program.
Uh we document all of our eventsand activities.
Uh, we do live streams of theclass announcement and class
graduation.
Uh, but there are photos fromevery one of our sessions so
that we get a feel for theprogram in advance.

Hills Regional LeadershipProgram.
