COTTONWOOD FALLS, KS. (April 30, 2025) --Symphony in the Flint Hills Inc has launched a public survey to gather input as the organization plans its future. For nearly two decades, Symphony in the Flint Hills Inc has worked to deepen appreciation for the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie through education, the arts, and stewardship. Now, the organization is seeking ideas and feedback to guide its next chapter.
The newly formed Vision Committee, made up of board members, longtime volunteers, and Kansas partners, is leading the effort to ensure the organization's future remains rooted in its mission: sustaining the region’s unique arts, culture, and landscape, and expanding education and awareness of the tallgrass prairie.
Lisa Hickok, board member and Chair of the Vision Committee, said, “We are incredibly proud of what Symphony in the Flint Hills has accomplished over the past twenty years. With the 2025 Signature Event featuring the Kansas City Symphony marking our final season, we are looking ahead to explore new ways our organization can continue to strengthen the Flint Hills and connect people to this extraordinary place. We hope everyone who cares about the prairie, its culture, and its future will share their ideas through this survey.”
The survey is open to anyone who has attended an event, supported the organization, visited the Flint Hills, or simply values the preservation of this unique landscape. Responses will help shape the organization’s programs, partnerships, and future initiatives.
