Our History Wichita Area Sister Cities is a non profit organization which began as a seven member board called the Sister Cities Advisory Board, which were persons appointed by the Mayor and City Council members. Soon afterwards, the Friends of Sister Cities, Inc. was formed. These two groups worked closely together during Official visits, providing translation, transportation, homes for our guests and more. The redundancy of two monthly meetings was no longer needed when the boards finally received approval from the city council to merge in 2002, becoming the Wichita Area Sister Cities Board. Now as one, we accomplish as much as the two boards were able to accomplish, largely due to the fact that the members are dedicated to the program and all that it stands for and has become. The members of Wichita Area Sister Cities are lovers of cultural exchange, sharing common enjoyment from our sister cities and their heritage and people. Our board consists of the Mayor of Wichita, as The Honorary Chairman, a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and eleven other voting members. The only paid position is that of our Secretary, who is Secretary to the Mayor and City Council. All other positions are held by volunteers.
