Kat Klehm says she was born to teach. She moved to Las Vegas in 2008 to pursue a career in education, and during that time, she began her physical fitness journey and started training others, too. Connections that she made through training ultimately led her to the Lincoln Dynamic Foundation.

Known for her can-do attitude, Klehm threw herself into her role at Lincoln Dynamic Foundation. She studied successful foundations, identified local nonprofits in need of support and pinpointed countless other ways to help the foundation grow. “With the foundation, I am connected to many local and national nonprofit organizations,” Klehm said. “My job is to network, brainstorm new ideas and enhance our community.” Under Klehm’s leadership, Lincoln Dynamic Foundation received the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Award for Outstanding Corporation of the Year in 2022.

In addition to her work at Lincoln Dynamic Foundation, Klehm is still active in the fitness community. She teaches classes in Southern Nevada and is the CEO of Kat K Fitness. She strives to make the world a better place in all facets of her life. “I believe that positivity is contagious, so hopefully, I have helped this community become a happier place,” Klehm said.
