The Olathe Public Library Downtown

Join us for a special Business Lunch Series event as we celebrate the remarkable career of Olathe City Manager Michael Wilkes, who is retiring after 26 years of dedicated service to our community. In this relaxed, conversational interview, we'll explore the "then and now" of Olathe’s growth, hear memorable stories from the past two decades and gain leadership insights from one of our city's most influential public servants. We'll also look ahead at what is next for both Michael and the city as a new chapter begins. This is more than a farewell. It's a moment to honor a legacy, reflect on progress and share appreciation for a leader who helped shape Olathe's story.   Pricing: $40 Member | $50 Non-member. Log in for member pricing. Call for table and half-table pricing.
