Summary

Liz Miller, a former CIO at the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and a Chartered Financial Analyst, was recommended to the Kansas Development Finance Authority after explaining her experience overseeing institutional investments and KDFA's role in facilitating access to capital markets.

The Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance recommended Liz Miller to the Kansas Development Finance Authority on Thursday after a short appearance outlining her investment and public‑sector experience.

Miller, who said she served as chief investment officer for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and later in senior private‑sector investment roles, told the committee that KDFA’s purpose is to "facilitate access to the capital markets, for the state of Kansas, for Regents institutions, and for various private and public, entities." She said her decades of portfolio management and understanding of institutional investors would help oversee KDFA work.

Committee members did not raise substantive objections and a motion to recommend Miller for appointment was moved and seconded; the committee approved the recommendation by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The chair said the recommendations will be forwarded to the full Senate.

Next steps: Miller’s nomination will be transmitted to the Senate for consideration.
