Those looking to snag a piece of candy from Kim Rogers’ desk will have to make a slightly longer walk. She’s got a new office and a new job.

On Feb. 1, Rogers was promoted to chief of staff after more than seven years as the director of public information. Prior to her work as a director, Rogers served as public information officer.

The newly created position will allow Rogers to assist Executive Director Charles Breithaupt in changes regarding staff and office procedures. She also will have various duties involving the Legislative Council and elected officials’ offices, including the attorney general.

“My goal is to help Dr. Breithaupt achieve his vision for the UIL,” Rogers said. “This will give an opportunity for the staff to bring any issues forward. It also allows an opportunity for feedback and help at a different level.”

Along with her new duties, Rogers will remain in charge of corporate sponsorships and radio and TV contracts. She also will continue to oversee the public information department.

Rogers believes her communication skills along with her previous work experience with media will aid her when it comes to managing issues in the office.

“I’m excited to take on these new challenges and responsibilities,” she said. “I feel my previous work experience gave a familiarity with the staff, our goals and the mission for the UIL in general.”

Rogers’ insists her door will always be open for anyone who wishes to drop by for a visit or just a piece of candy.
