Nolan Sunderman, 2005 Political Science and 2007 Master of Public Administration alumni, recently accepted a position with the City of Prairie Village, KS as the Assistant to the City Administrator. Prior to his position with the City of Prairie Village, Nolan was the Economic Development/Convention & Visitors Bureau Director for the City of Lansing, KS for the last seven years. Along with economic development and CVB duties, Nolan was also responsible for oversight of public information, information technology, grant administration, community events, and the local history museum. His current responsibilities include parks and recreation, legislative affairs, and emergency management.
As a student at Missouri State, Nolan took advantage of two opportunities he had to travel that he would highly recommend. The first was the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (www.usna.edu/fafac) which he had the opportunity to attend twice. The second opportunity was through the National Council of U.S.-Arab Relations (http://ncusar.org/) when he traveled to Kuwait.
Nolan currently lives in Shawnee, KS with his wife Natalie and their son Connor (What a great name).
