Rotary District 5680 Refugee Project

Kathy Sexton served the past 16 years as Derby City Manager and just retired in December. Her peers around the state honored her in December with the highest award in the profession, the Buford Watson, Jr. Award for Excellence in Public Management. She recently completed a term on the Visit Wichita board of directors and currently serves on the board of the Rotary Club of Derby. Just as she was about to begin her sabbatical from paid employment, district Rotary leaders asked her to lead a new effort to muster the resources of nine area Rotary clubs to help welcome several hundred refugee families to south-central Kansas. Today, Kathy will talk about our Rotary District's Refugee Project.
