Q I have been asked to serve as vice-president, which means I ultimately would be president within three years. If I agree and am elected, what is my commitment, and is there any help available to prepare me for the job?

A Congratulations! The sky’s the limit.

Your selection as a Kiwanis club officer puts you in position to make a valuable contribution to your club and community. Ideally, your commitment, within the next three years, is to effect positive change in your hometown, be a leading force that corrects what needs to be corrected, and encourage the leadership potential within fellow Kiwanis, Key Club, Circle K, Builders, and K-Kids club members.

Kiwanis International and club bylaws describe the “official” responsibilities of the club vice-president, president-elect, president, and president-elect. And the International Office teams with your district to provide officer-training sessions at conventions and other events. But above all, pose the question: “What would make our town a better place, especially for our children? Whatever your answer may be, make that your commitment.
