KFTC is a member-based organization. That means our members speak for us. Many of our members are directly impacted by the issues that we address. Please contact us if you are a media representative and wish to speak to a KFTC spokesperson. We also can arrange face-to-face interviews and visits to effected communities. We have experience working with many local, state and national media.

Our press room pages are designed to help reporters learn more about KFTC and the issues we address. Please contact us if you cannot find the information you are looking for on these pages.
