KLCBT’S ADVOCACIESKLCBT elects new committees, a new board and a new president every two

years. The new board and president has taken office in January 2021 and

Each of these is supported by a sub-committee who drives the strategy for

the advocacy and who is also giving input in the district’s work streams and

the Provincial Think Tank sub-committees…
