2025–2026 Acknowledgment of Distinguished Members

As a nonprofit organization, KACA relies entirely on the generosity and commitment of its members to carry out its mission. Membership dues directly support KACA’s core operational functions, including organizing academic conference sessions, providing research grants and scholarships, and supporting graduate student initiatives. These activities are only possible because of the collective contributions of our community.

​

We are especially grateful to members who go above and beyond by selecting membership categories that include additional donations. Your generosity plays a crucial role in sustaining and expanding the reach of KACA’s programs and in nurturing the next generation of scholars.

​

Membership dues are more than a formality. They are the foundation that allows KACA to thrive. We extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued support and belief in the mission and future of KACA.
