 The Administrative Assistants of Kansas Cities was formed on January 7, 1992 at a meeting attended by 17 assistants from Kansas cities. The organization was formed from a desire to promote and improve proficiency of its members and public administration in Kansas, and to provide a network of information, ideas, and support to its members.
On May 7, 1992, the Kansas Association of City/County Management voted to endorse and support AAKC. At that point, a delegation from the organization approached the Kansas League of Municipalities to request affiliation. Administrative Assistants of Kansas Cities became an affiliate association of the League of Kansas Municipalities on July 18, 1992.
