Kansas Oxford House state meeting approves Wichita training funding and response team plan

Delegates at the Oxford House Kansas State Association meeting in Lawrence on March 14 approved several funding and organizational measures focused on training and statewide support. A $1,000 line item was allocated to the Wichita Alumni Association to fund house-officer training scheduled for May 30, 2026, and the association approved a $1,500 disbursement to underwrite unity-event expenses such as food and field fees. Both motions passed as 'MSP' (moved, seconded, passed).

State leaders also proposed creation of a Response Team of experienced leaders, housing-service representatives and long-term officers to provide replication, training and conflict-resolution support for houses across Kansas. The plan calls for reimbursing team members’ travel and lodging from the State Association budget upon receipt of documentation. Meeting minutes emphasize that the chain of service should be used first (house then chapter) before escalating to state-level assistance.
