COMMUNITY SURVEY
We are conducting a survey to learn more about individuals who engage with RMLA. It is very important to us that we hear feedback from the community about how we can better support them.
Please take a moment to fill out our community survey. This survey will take between five and ten minutes to complete, and will help us in refining our mission for the upcoming year.
The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/C2kSmx8Sz3PMdK8w9.
UPDATE FROM THE BOARD
Happy New Year!
We are excited to announce some beneficiaries of proceeds from Denver Back Alley. Over the past few months, we donated $1,500 to the following three organizations:
We are beginning to conduct a community survey in order to help us prioritize goals for the coming year.
We are also beginning the board election cycle. If you are interested in running for a board position, please fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/1LvCpYLeaYHZQvEr8.
Once we have information collected for all candidates, we will begin the voting process.
Remember that all upcoming community events can be found on the new “Community Calendar” page on our website: https://rockymountainleather.org/community-calendar/
If you have any feedback or events you want added, please contact board@rockymountainleather.org.
Thank you for being a part of our organization and our community!

CALLS FOR INVOLVEMENT
We are always looking for kink/fetish skill performers (e.g. flogging, electro, bondage; tops or bottoms) for demos or tastings. If you’re interested in helping out with a Rough Play, please email us at board@rockymountainleather.org.
If you are interested in helping drive the direction of RMLA, or would like to voice your opinion, please reach out to us at board@rockymountainleather.org.
If you have your own organization you want to start or build up which will build cohesion and community in the Leather, BDSM, kink, and/or fetish communities in the Rocky Mountain region, please reach out to us — we’d love to see how we can help. We love to bring new programs to the area for any demographic, but we can’t do it alone.
Thanks,
