The North Carolina Leather Contest is offering one scholarship for a community member to attend the 2009 Leather Leadership Conference in Atlanta in April, 2009. The scholarship will cover the cost of registration; attendees will be required to cover all travel, lodging, and food expenses. Please see the LLC website at www.leatherleadership.org for more information on this event. Contact the NCLF Executive Director for more information and to apply. 

The Executive Director of the North Carolina Leather Foundation, a registered non-profit organization, seeks three individuals to fill the Board of Directors. This is a great opportunity to get involved with a state-wide Leather/BDSM organization which currently produces one major event each year. It is also a chance to contribute to the growth of the organization whose mission is to provide educational and social opportunities to the North Carolina Leather/BDSM community.

The positions are Public Relations Director, Outreach Director, and Activities Director. Each of these positions will be responsible for one aspect of the organization and will, additionally, have designated responsibilities during the production of the NC Leather Contest. Creativity, a willingness to work hard and the ability to work independently and as part of a five person team are a must.

Interested individuals should submit a letter of interest describing which position he/she is interested in, what skills he/she would bring to the team and the organization and what he/she hopes to gain by joining the Board of Directors. Please also include any additional information you feel is relevant to your application.

The producers of the NC Leather Contest are excited to report that NCLC is an official feeder contest for SELF. Beginning in 2008, the winner of the NC Leather Contest will be required to compete at the regional level during SELF weekend.
