Committees

The basic standing committee structure for clubs is established by the International Board of Trustees. Separate committees are appointed to address community services, sponsored youth, Young Children: Priority One, human and spiritual values, club administration, membership growth and education, public relations, and finance and fund raising.

When the opportunity arises to extend Kiwanis through the sponsorship of a new Kiwanis club, the President appoints a Committee on New Club Building.

Clubs may also expand the committee structure by creating other standing committees to enable the club to function more effectively in terms of its own needs and interests. The duties of these committees are determined at the time they are created.

Each standing committee is composed of three or more members serving for a term of one year, commencing on the first day of October. All members of a committee are appointed by and are subject to removal by the President. Each committee is responsible to the President and is required to provide reports as the President or Board of Directors may direct.

Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, special committees may be appointed by the President to perform duties defined in their creation.

Each committee is required to cooperate with the appropriate Kiwanis International or district committees to promote, when practical, programs suggested by these committees.

In addition to standing committees, the president also appoints program committees. These members are responsible for setting up entertaining and informative weekly programs.
