Club Leadership

The club member is the most important part of a Kiwanis club. Many people refer to a club as inverted pyramid – with its base being the members. Clubs can range in size from a newly formed club of 15 to a well-established club of hundreds. No matter what size, its purpose is the same – “to serve the children of the world.” The best interests of a club are served when a number of different club members serve as officers and members of the board of directors. Persons other than the secretary and treasurer should not be encouraged or expected to hold the same office or chairmanship for more than two years.

The Board of Directors consists of the club officers and the directors, who are elected by the club. Each director serves a period of two years. To ensure continuity on the board of directors, one- and two-year terms are required in the initial election. The board of directors determines the policies and activities of the club, elects and disciplines members, approves the budget, approves all bills, works with committees, and has charge of the general management of the club.
