Annually, the League of Kansas Municipalities seeks to honor a special individual who has demonstrated outstanding service to their community and the League. This year, the League honored Aikins Aikins, city councilmember for the city of Humboldt.
“She has committed a lifetime of service to the Humboldt community,” said City Administrator Cole Herder, who nominated Aikins for the award. “She has been active in Dream Humboldt, a group working to revitalize Humboldt. She has been a dedicated member of the Chamber of Commerce, her church, and Humboldt Healthy Ecosystems. She was a driving force in the renovation of the Neosho River Park, starting with a safe fishing dock and stairs to the dam. She still continues to spend countless hours maintaining flower beds in the park.”
