J.W. Wells
Kansas Bankers Association - Ag Division Coordinator & Government Affairs Assistant
J.W. is the Ag Division Coordinator & Government Affairs Assistant for the Kansas Bankers Association. He describes his current role as “a direct result of his experience in the Flinchbaugh Food & Ag Policy Fellowship”. Reflecting on his time as a fellow, J.W. says “The most significant takeaway from my fellowship is never to undervalue the power of relationships. I connected with so many people in and outside the agriculture industry, both in Kansas, the United States, and worldwide. By creating relationships with those with little or no connection to agriculture, I was able to advocate and educate more effectively. If you’re on the fence about whether you should apply . . . take my advice: DO IT!”
