Calling on All Good Men is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors committed to empowering men to take action and protect what matters most. Our leadership team includes:
Kindree Chescoe
Kindree Chescoe is the Founder and Principal Designer of KLC kre-a-tiv Inc. and the Founder of Calling On All Good Men. With more than 30 years of leadership at the intersection of business, creativity, and social impact, she has built KLC into an award-winning design firm recognized internationally, most notably receiving the 2021 North America International Macael Design Award in Spain. She also launched the Fill the Gap Collection, an original product line introducing innovative, design-driven solutions to the North American market.
Her career reflects a rare combination of entrepreneurial vision and creative excellence. She was instrumental in building a successful benefits consulting firm that achieved strong market growth before its sale, and she has produced large-scale theatre and multimedia works that earned critical recognition. Alongside her business accomplishments, she has led service projects in Africa, Paraguay, and Canada, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to impact.
Her founding of Calling On All Good Men is deeply personal. Confronted with the devastating impact of sexual assault on women close to her, she set out to approach the issue differently—by focusing on prevention. Driven by her belief that the best way to tackle hard realities is through positive, solution-oriented action, she recognized that men of every generation have a natural instinct to protect those they love. From that conviction came Calling On All Good Men: an initiative designed to equip and inspire men to stand together and lead by protecting, respecting, and leading.
