==Career==
Kendell has been with NCLR since 1994, when she joined the organization as its Legal Director. Two years later, she was named Executive Director.
Kendell grew up as a Latter-day Saint in Utah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kate Kendell and the National Center for Lesbian Rights )〕 After receiving her J.D. from the University of Utah College of Law in 1988 and a few years practicing corporate law, she pursued her real love—civil rights advocacy—and became the first staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah. There she directly litigated many high-profile cases focusing on all aspects of civil liberties, including reproductive rights, prisoners’ rights, free speech, the rights of LGBT people, and the intersection of church and state.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kate Kendell Interview Page 2 )〕
During her leadership, the issues facing the LGBT community—from homophobia in sports to immigration policy—have taken center stage in the United States’ discussion of LGBT civil rights issues. Kendell is a nationally recognized spokesperson for LGBT rights and has an active voice in major media, including ''The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Advocate'', NPR, CNN, and many others. Despite the national success of NCLR under her tenure, her most rewarding responsibilities still include fostering alliances on the community and organizational levels, and advocating from a grass-roots perspective on issues concerning social justice.〔()〕〔()〕 She is also known for her inspiring and motivating keynote speeches at NCLR's annual Anniversary Celebration events and at events across the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCLR: get involved > events )〕
