Yes, all five members of this board (the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority / MTAA Board of Directors, as confirmed by the exact match to the public listing on mtaa-topeka.org) have clear, documented ties to the Greater Topeka Partnership (GTP) ecosystem.
GTP is the umbrella organization that includes (or partners closely with) the Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Go Topeka (economic development), Visit Topeka, Downtown Topeka Inc., and related groups. These connections come through:
Here’s the deep dive on each person, based on public records, GTP/partner websites, news, and organizational documents:
Samuel Sutton (Chair, City Appointee)
Carlos Cortez (Vice Chair, City Appointee)
Michael Odupitan (Secretary, City Appointee)
Michael Munson (Member, County Appointee)
Brian Armstrong (Member, County Appointee)
Overall Cross-Pollination
In short, this MTAA board is heavily populated with GTP/LGT-connected business and civic leaders. There is significant “cross-pollination” — the kind you’d expect in a mid-sized city where the same group of engaged professionals rotate through economic development, chamber, and public authority roles. All of this is publicly documented on GTP sites, MTAA records, local news (CJOnline, WIBW, TK Business Magazine), and organizational announcements.
