(KAIR)--A local, former State Representative has been named to serve on a Kansas board.
Jerry Henry, of Cummings, was appointed by Governor Sam Browback to the Kansas Children’s Cabinet, which oversees the expenditures from the Master Tobacco Settlement.
Henry is one of two appointees to that board.
Henry served 12 terms as State Representative for Kansas' 63rd District, ending his time in office following his unsuccessful run for State Senate last year.
Henry is the Executive Director of Achievement Services for Northeast Kansas, an Atchison-based nonprofit that provides programs and services for developmentally disabled citizens.
Henry has served in that position since 1978.
According to the website for the Kansas Children’s Cabinet, that board advises the Governor and Legislature on the uses of the Master Tobacco Settlement monies credited to the Children’s Initiatives Fund.
Additionally, the board evaluates programs which utilize those funds, assists the Governor with the development and implementation of a coordinated, comprehensive delivery system to serve Kansas children and families, and supports the prevention of child abuse and neglect through the Children’s Trust Fund.
