service, leadership and fellowship experience.

! The International Board is elected at the International Convention each summer.! The Board is composed of one International President, one International Vice-President, and

seven International Representatives.

Districts in their respective Sub-Regions

DistrictLevel! District Boards provide support and guidance to the Circle K clubs within their geographical

area.

! All districts are headed by a Governor and can have a Secretary, Treasurer, and sometimes aBulletin Editor. Some districts also have Lieutenant Governors and committee chairs. The

position of Secretary and Treasurer are combined in some districts.

! All districts in Circle K International hold an annual District Convention in either Februaryor March for member education, club officer training and election of the District Board.

! Districts are charged with implementing International policies within their represented clubs.! All District Boards are responsible for providing resources on club building, Kiwanis Family

relations, laws and regulations, membership retention/education to each club, and planning

District events for the membership (e.g. District Convention).

TheClub Level! Club Boards are a very important aspect of CKI as they are the leaders that work within their

community.
