The Wheatland Board of Trustees has appointed a new president and treasurer and renewed appointments for its vice president and secretary. 

MARK ARNOLD, director of the Stock Exchange Bank in Caldwell who represents WEC’s District 7 territory, was appointed board president by fellow trustees at the May 31 board meeting in Great Bend. 

District 7 represents territory of southcentral Kansas across Kingman, Harper, Sumner and Sedgwick counties and was acquired following the 2007 Aquila purchase.
