Hello Eastern Canada!
My name is Hope Roundcount, and I’m from the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District.

Your district, being outside of the United States, has an especially unique culture which I cannot wait to uncoverandparticipatein,allwhilesharingideasbetweentheotherdistrictsinoursistricts.
Indiana and California-Nevada-Hawaii KIWIN’S, the other two districts in our sistrict, are just as excited as you to share some new ideas, learn about each other’s cultures, and make some new friends. Although I know that Eastern Canada was already in a sistrict with CNH KIWIN’S, I am confident that there are always new people to meet, new ideas to share, and new events to collaborate on. My job as a trustee, in part, is to facilitate that process of spreading information, ideas, campaigns, and events between districts andfromtheinternationalboard.Thinkofyourtrusteeasalinktoallthingsinternational!
I understand that the Eastern Canada District plans to charter a lot of new clubs over the course of the next several months. Due to my participation on a New Club Building and Reactivation Committee in my home district, I have email templates, phone banking scripts, and presentations on membership recruitment, retainment,andengagementthatarejustwaitingtobeshared—sopleaseneverhesitatetoreachoutifyou have any questions on this subject!
