Kansas Department of Commerce Creative Arts Industries

What a pleasure it is to serve Kansas, the great Sunflower State as a Field Consultant for the State Arts Agency.

We work with Kansas Department of Commerce Creative Arts Industries Commission by region, helping to secure artists and arts orgs by getting them resources-ready and by developing industry in all arts media.

I help with the film arts statewide while advocating for arts non-profits in the East Central region.

Johnson County Parks Foundation

We come together to cultivate support for Johnson County Park + Rec (JCPRD) and create opportunities for community engagement by being strategic with philanthropic initiatives, considering the JoCo neighbors we serve and just having a good time. I'm happy and honored to build with and learn from this fine Board.

Johnson County Arts Council Advisory

It's an honor to be trusted. So when Sarah VanLanduyt, Executive Director of the Arts Council called, inviting me to the advisory board, I hopped on with passionate gusto.

Inclusivity Media

Founded by Michelle Davidson, Inclusivity Media produces diversity-conscious media and Lonita is proud to serve the Advisory Board

Free State Festival

This is Lonita with vibrant storyteller of visceral stories, Boots Riley after moderating a discussion leading into his Prime series, I'm A Virgo. Lonita volunteers annually for Free State.

Johnson County Arts + Heritage Museum

Lonita just concluded her service to and tenure as the (first Black woman) President of the Museum Foundation/Friends Board where she continues her support as a community benefactor
