Our Board

Driven By A Community Of Volunteers.

Our Board of Directors is composed entirely of dedicated volunteers who generously lend their time, talents, and expertise to elevate Kansas City's advertising scene.

Each board member plays a crucial role in keeping the KC Ad Club running smoothly, from organizing events and educational programs to managing memberships and fostering community partnerships. Their passion and commitment drive our mission forward, ensuring the vibrancy and success of our local advertising community.
