GOVERNOR-ELECT CANDIDATE

Josh Hiscock

KIWANIS CLUB OF ELLICOTT CITY; CAPITAL NEXTGENERATION E-CLUB

Why did you decide to run for office?

I chose to run for the role of Governor-Elect because I believe Kiwanis is a tremendous force for good. However, there are ways we can Elevate Our Impact to become an even greater organization – one with more members from a variety of diverse backgrounds performing more handson service in more communities around the Capital District. I believe I can rally Kiwanians together to do good, to do better, and to do more.

What qualifies you to become a future Governor of the Capital District?

My experience in the Kiwanis family began as a Key Club member in high school. Over the years, I have served my community and Kiwanis in many different leadership roles. I have developed a sense of how we might improve the Kiwanis organization to be more inclusive to attract new members and retain current members, provide better support to our SLP students, and add value to the member experience by providing opportunities for leadership development.

How will you leave your mark on Kiwanis?

Through my Elevate Our Impact platform, I aim to accomplish several important goals including enhancing support of our SLP clubs, growing Kiwanis into new communities, and retaining more current members. Most notably, I hope Kiwanians look back upon my term as Governor one day and reflect upon our shared accomplishments of increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging within our organization. I look forward to collaboratively working with others to achieve these goals.
