Volunteer to be a KFTC Leader!

You can play an important role in building your local chapter in the coming year. Please come to your chapter meeting in August ready to volunteer or nominate others for chapter positions below or for the statewide committees here.

Steering Committee Representative and Alternate
Each chapter selects a representative and alternate to serve on KFTC’s Steering Committee. This is the statewide board that makes decisions about KFTC’s budget, policies, strategy and long-term direction. One person from each chapter must attend each Steering Committee meeting, which are held 6 Saturdays a year in different locations across the state. Two of these meetings include an overnight stay. Members are reimbursed at a rate of $.43 per mile for driving to these meetings.

Chapter Membership Coordinator(s)
As membership coordinator, you will be involved in planning and carrying out activities to recruit, renew, and continually engage the chapter’s membership. You help other members get excited about asking people they know to join KFTC, and keep the chapter focused on meeting its membership goals. The membership coordinator works closely with the fundraising coordinator to plan events that generate new members, energize the chapter and raise funds to support KFTC.

Chapter Fundraising Coordinator(s)
Each chapter must raise at least $500 a year for KFTC. The fundraising coordinator leads the effort to raise this money and develop local events that reflect the creativity and diversity of the chapter. Examples include potluck dinners, musical events, car washes and more. He or she also helps identify local donors and participates in asking them to support KFTC. The fundraising coordinator gets others excited about fundraising and helps recruit volunteers to make phone calls to all chapter members during KFTC’s fall fundraising campaign.

Chapter Publicity Coordinator(s)
This person will help the chapter think creatively about how best to communicate with local members and the broader public about our issues and organization. He/she can be responsible for sending frequent updates about your chapter’s activities to balancing the scales, KFTC’s newsletter, and to our website. He/she also helps the chapter make the best use of local media and other creative methods (including flyers, public service announcements, and on-line social networking sites) to get the word out about chapter meetings, issues and activities. KFTC’s organizers and communication team are excited to help throughout the year.
