Structure review enters new phase
In the fall of 2004, Kiwanis International began a project studying the structure of its organization and how it could better support clubs and the service they perform. The program's goal is to make Kiwanis International a rewarding experience for volunteers throughout the world by providing the best service to our members through the most efficient means possible. With that end in mind, a Special Committee on Structure was appointed. It met several times over the past year to deliberate on the various issues surrounding Kiwanis International's structure. That committee submitted its final report this past June 28 to the International Board.
Kiwanis International is now ready for the next step in this project.
"We need your help," says 2005-06 International President Steve Siemens.
"The committee's report and exhibits are posted on this Web site. Please take the time to read this material thoroughly. The International Board is not recommending any changes at this point. We simply want to begin a dialogue with you, the member, and receive as much thoughtful input as possible before going any further. Toward that end, the International Board has organized four committees to further study the topics contained in the Special Committee's report. Soon, your International Board Counselors will be attending all of the district conventions taking place over the next few months. Please use this opportunity to voice your opinion, ask questions, and let us know your thoughts on these issues.
"At our International Convention this year, our House of Delegates adopted a formal resolution that will shape our future and the future of the children and communities we serve for years to come. We are committed to growing one million members strong by our 100th anniversary. You are invited to share your thoughts via e-mail."
