The Kansas Oral History Project held its Annual Meeting on November 8, 2025 at the Topeka-Shawnee County Public Library. During the business meeting the Board elected a new President, Sue Peterson of Manhattan, and Vice-president, Kathleen Holt, of Cimmaron. In addition, two new members were elected to fill unexpired terms on the KOHP Board, Don Hineman who farms near Dighton, KS and Michael Smith, a Political Science professor at Emporia State University.
