The
Knights has a very simple yet effective organizational structure
that allows us to proceed with our objectives with the most
proficiency.
The Knights is centered around local
community units working in conjunction with headquarters. In
locations where a unit is not organized - individual Klansmen and Klanswomen can work directly with headquarters in a number of
activities. Most volunteers for The Knights choose to be unaffiliated with a
local unit - yet still network with others through the members private
website.
The Leader of the
organization is called the National Director and is assisted directly by the
National Membership Coordinator.
The Advisory Council is an
advisory board to the national director
