Strategic Partners & Sponsors

In April, 2008, the Kern County Taxpayers Education Fund was established to research, organize and disseminate information and education to the public and business community of Kern County, in order to facilitate economic growth and development in Kern County. On March 24, 2009, KCTEF received its nonprofit determination letter from the IRS. KCTEF’s first project is the Kern Leaders Academy, based on the San Joaquin Political Academy in Fresno.
The Kern Leaders Academy’s board of directors, strategic partners and sponsors are pleased to be a component in this unique education and training program that introduces creative solutions to enhance the visionary leadership within our region.
