VICE-GOVERNOR CANDIDATE TIM GILLETTE

from The Capital Kiwanian - April/May 2023

WHY I LOVE K-KIDS

Kiwanis Club Of Leesburg

How will you leave your mark on Kiwanis?

My goal is to inspire people to lead with purpose, incorporating core values and a sense of intention in leadership practices. As Kiwanians, we’re in the unique position to lead within our communities and inspire a new generation of leaders through our work with our Service Leadership Programs. We need to set up future generations for success and prepare them to lead after our time in Kiwanis is over.

Biographic Summary

Why did you decide to run for office?

Over the past three years, as a member of the Board of Trustees, we’ve been able to accomplish many things (redivisioning, the merger with West Virginia, revamping our investment strategy, etc.). We still have a lot of work to do, and I would love the opportunity to lead the Capital District as we move forward. I’d like to help reengage our membership, and help us grow in numbers.

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

I’ve served many roles in Kiwanis at the club, division, and district levels. As a member of the Board of Trustees, I’ve learned the operational structure of the district and how to get things done. My career in financial management has given me the tools to properly evaluate our budget, and be a good steward of the dues payments from the membership.

I was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ, where I was a member of Builder’s Club. I moved to Northern Virginia in 2008 and joined the Tysons club in 2010. I taught math for six years, then moved into Corporate Finance. Today I am a Finance Manager for CARFAX in Centreville, VA. My wife Corey is a proud Kiwanian and our six-year-old daughter Natalie has participated in many projects.
