AROUND CAPITAL CREATING BRIGHTER FUTURES BY JEN WOLFF, GOVERNOR-ELECT Happy Holidays, Capital Kiwanians! As Governor Elana and her team work to Mend Our World, I am working to fill the 2022-23 Leadership Team for next year! We currently have a few Lt. Governor-Elect positions that are vacant. If you are a Past President from divisions 5, 6, 15, 17, 18, 19, & 20, please consider this worthwhile position. The Lt. Governor’s responsibilities include helping clubs maintain or increase their membership, helping to open new clubs, ensuring participation in club leadership education, and increasing club members’ engagement and morale. The energy that you give this position will go a long way toward maintaining the health and vitality of the clubs in your division and, by extension, Kiwanis. In addition to Lt. Governors-Elect, we are looking for individuals that are interested in serving on the District Board as a Trustee for their Region. Elections will be help in March at the District Midyear Conference for the positions of Heart of Virginia, Mason-Dixon, and West Virginia Regional Trustees. To get started, you will need to complete the District PreElection Pledge. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Kiwanis Amplify District Officer Incentive
The District board voted to reimburse the cost of the Kiwanis Amplify program to all 2022-23 District Officers (this includes those who stepped up to be Lt. GovernorsElect ths year!) who have not completed the program before, once they successfully complete the program. This is a $200 value, and a great opportunity! For those who are not familiar, Kiwanis Amplify is a virtual leadership development program that is designed to increase the leadership capacity of participants in areas such as: event planning, strategic planning, public relations, interpersonal communication, working with others, selfcare, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The program begins in March, and the deadline to register is February 25.
Membership & Experience Survey
The Capital District continues to seek information from our members about their professional and educational backgrounds. We all know that Kiwanians are always ready to help, regardless of their work and school histories. However, we want this information to have a better understanding of the knowledge and expertise available to better our District and services to our clubs. We appreciate you taking a few minutes to help us out! So far, I am please to say that over 150 members have completed it. Please complete the brief survey here. If you have any ideas or observations that you would like to bring to my attention, OR if you wish to service on a District Committee next year, you can email me at jen. wolff@capitaldistrictkiwanis.org!
