List of Current Active Community Partner Members
The Los Angeles Leather Coalition (LALC) is comprised of voting and non-voting members of the community. The voting members “Community Partners” vote on matters that instruct the Board on how they should steer the organization as it regards the LA Region’s Leather/BDSM Community and the operation of Los Angeles Leather Pride. Community Partners also elect and fill 5 out of the 9 Board of Director seats. Without the voice of our Community Partners the LALC would cease to function. Non-Voting Members as well as Members of the Community are welcome to come to our monthly meetings and voice concern on matters presented before the board.

Community Members can apply to be recognized as a “Community Partner” after attending 3 regularly scheduled meetings within the last year. The application can be downloaded here and emailed to the secretary or may be completed on-line here. Once the secretary has received the application and the 3 meeting requirement has been met, the potential Community Partner will be notified when they can be voted in by simple majority of the other Community Partners.
In January of every year, the Community Partners are asked to update their information with the Secretary. This can also be done by downloading the Renewal Form here and emailing it to the Secretary or by completing the on-line form.
