The Committee is constantly on the lookout for new members to runs its Communications, produce its Events,
coordinate Activities with Students and sustain Membership .
As KCLEA looks to the second half of the 21st century KCLEA needs some "younger blood" to become Executives and Leaders
to ensure a successful future for the association. Find out more
