2025 KBA No Ties Tour

KBA Leadership Connecting with Kansas Bankers Across the Sunflower State

KBA President & CEO Doug Wareham, KBA Insurance President Alex Greig and AVP of KBA Insurance Cole Thompson hit the road in style for this year’s “No Ties Tour,” connecting face-to-face with many of our valued bankers across the state.

We sincerely thank all the Kansas bankers who welcomed us into their communities. Your candid feedback and warm hospitality are invaluable as we continue working together to strengthen Kansas banking.
