Olpe resident and Emporia attorney Steve Atherton has been reappointed to a state board.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly reappointed Atherton to the Kansas Guardianship Program’s Board of Directors.
The board oversees the state’s guardianship program, which calls itself “a volunteer-based model that provides guardianship or conservatorship services for vulnerable adults” as it serves people identified as eligible by Adult Protective Services and state hospital social workers and then appointed as guardian or conservator by a judge. The program also involves a collaboration between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Department for Aging and Disability Services.
More information about the program is online at ksgprog.org.
