Because it significantly accelerated the virtual accessibility of government meetings, the coronavirus pandemic ushered in a Zoom boom of sorts for civic engagement in Kansas. The Journal’s Stan Finger reports on this development and explores what happens after we log off from the pandemic in the Summer 2021 edition of the Kansas Leadership Center’s print and digital magazine.
This edition explores how technology is not enough to promote civic engagement. Another story by Finger explores how, in hopes of making local government operations less opaque, communities across the state have launched civic engagement academies that are providing a pathway into local elected and appointed offices for some residents.

This edition is for readers who want to explore the following complex questions:
