GOVERNOR'S GREETING GOVERNOR'S GREETING

Paige Hein: 2023-2024

My name is Paige Hein, I’m 15, and I am a sophomore at Washington Township High School. I thoroughly enjoyed serving on the Indiana District board this past year and am elated to serve you all again, this time as District Governor. Your passion for service and leadership has inspired me to rise to the challenge of this position and devote myself to the success of the Indiana District.

My journey with the Kiwanis family started in my 6th grade year, when I joined my school’s Builder’s Club. My journey with service started way before though, as I became an active member and officer of 4-H and even participated in service projects as a Girl Scout. Every year I ran for a leadership role in Builder’s Club and every year I lost. But my teachers saw my potential, and my school’s Key Club advisor Mrs. Rea encouraged me to become a Key Club officer. So, as a freshman, I became Vice President. That’s when I attended my first Key Leader event and realized Key Club is where I belong. I am filled with gratitude for Mrs. Rea for pushing me to become more involved, because without her I never would have come to district events and ran for Duneland Division Lt Governor. Then, after attending the Key Club International Convention in 2022, I knew running for Governor was my dream. Many hours of stress, preparation, doubt, and writing speeches later, I still can’t believe that my dream came true.

Leading a thriving Key Club district, a key contributor to Key Club International, will not be easy. But on behalf of the entire 2023-2024 Indiana District Board, we are ready to work hard to ensure the prosperity of the district this service year. Caring truly is our way of life.

I am honored that the Indiana District of Key Club entrusted me to serve in this prestigious position, and greatly look forward to the year ahead. Thank you all again for being devoted leaders to your home, school, and community. I promise to always serve with your best interest at heart.

Yours in service and friendship,

Paige Hein

2023-2024 Indiana District Governor
