Debbi Beavers Steps Down After Decade Leading Kansas ABC

Debbi Beavers, Kansas’s longest-serving Alcoholic Beverage Control director and the first woman to lead the division, is retiring July 1 after a decade steering policy and modernizing systems that saved businesses $100K annually. She’s stepping down alongside Revenue Secretary Mark Burghart, who also announced his July 31 exit — leaving both roles unfilled. Beavers, who rose from licensing manager to top spot in 2016, credits her team for transforming customer service and licensing tech while cutting underage drinking. She’s proud of her legacy and eager to see what comes next. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
