Vickie Griffith Hawver is managing partner of Hawver News Company LLC, which publishes Hawver’s Capitol Report and Hawver’s Capitol Flash.
Her work includes editing articles for both publications, helping plan content, designing/producing the publications, marketing, maintaining the subscriber e-mail list, managing the business, handling customer relations, and occasionally reporting/writing for the publications. She also is the liaison for the company's contracting webmaster, ad salesperson and mass e-mail system provider.
A former Topeka Capital-Journal reporter and editor, she left the newspaper in 1991 to start Hawver News Company, a writing/editing business. When her husband, Martin Hawver, joined in 1993, the company created Hawver’s Capitol Report, a newsletter which from among several projects grew into HNC's top producer and eventual main focus. In 1999, Vickie Hawver initiated an e-mailed bulletin component (now known as Hawver’s Capitol Flash) for the business and in 2006 she oversaw the transition of Hawver’s Capitol Report from a printed to an e-mailed publication.
She is a past president of Topeka Press Women, a 1996 graduate of Leadership Greater Topeka, and has served as an adjunct instructor in Washburn University’s mass media department. A member of the Junior League of Topeka since 1989, she has held many offices, including president in 1996-97 and chair of the Everybody Wins! When Adults Read With Children mentoring project in 1998-99.
