Hello Kiwanians-
First off, THANK YOU for allowing me to serve you for the next year, I am honored and greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve alongside such great individuals. In reflection, I am here because of individuals like you, selfless individuals who dedicate themselves to serving their community, creating change and forward movement, but most importantly creating a community of servitude. Individuals like you are testament of “the village” it takes to make things happen. Your endless and tireless efforts bring warmth where it’s cold, food where there’s hunger, and a space that is safe and comforting.
This year, my focus is CommUnity, where we as Kiwanis unite in order to close the inequity gaps where our communities are most vulnerable, by identifying areas of need that would benefit from our efforts. While serving our communities, we will Educate, Empower, and Elevate those who we serve, as well as those who we serve alongside.
We will Educate others on who WE are and what We do. We will develop our Membership through intentional workshops and best practice discussions based on our respective Clubs’ needs.
We will Empower our Children, Families, and Communities, as well as our Members to grow as leaders by providing all the support and guidance they need to not only transition into leadership roles, but to be successful while serving their terms. We will grow our Membership by Empowering others to join the great CommUnity of the Kiwanis.
We will Elevate by “lifting as we climb.” We will be Mentors, Leaders, and Sponsors to our peers and those whom we serve.
Thank you for allowing me to be your Lt. Governor for the 2024-2025 year. I look forward to a great year, serving along great individuals!
