Secretary

Your diligence and passion for Kiwanis inspired your fellow Kiwanians to give you one of the most important jobs in your club. The club secretary maintains accurate membership records, keeps official meeting minutes and manages club operations. You’ll keep your club energized and engaged. And your club’s leadership team will be stronger and more efficient because of your communication skills and savvy.

Club secretaries are required to complete Club Leadership Education in order to:

• Understand the basics of running a club
• Become a more enlightened leader in your club
• Enhance your communication skills
• Learn about Kiwanis programs and procedures

Each district offers Club Leadership Education. Contact your district office or visit your district website for more information about events in your area. Some districts also offer CLE at district conventions.
