Governor Designate

Dr. Delores Lewis

Wel­come to a new Kiwa­nis year as we con­tin­ue to recruit new mem­bers from our com­mu­ni­ties to join us in extend­ing more ser­vice and mak­ing our com­mu­ni­ties bet­ter for our chil­dren.

Serv­ing as your Vice-Gov­er­nor for the past admin­is­tra­tive year afford­ed me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to be exposed to the func­tion­ing of the dis­trict and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to Chair the Long Range Strate­gic Plan­ning Com­mit­tee. I was able with my com­mit­tee col­leagues to par­tic­i­pate in mak­ing strate­gic plans that will help shape the dis­trict for the next few years. An amaz­ing expe­ri­ence indeed!

As I approach the start of this admin­is­tra­tive year, I look for­ward to serv­ing as Chair of the Dis­trict Ser­vice Lead­er­ship Pro­gram where I hope to become acquaint­ed and work close­ly with our Dis­trict Admin­is­tra­tors who devout so much of their time work­ing with our youth and pro­vid­ing lead­er­ship devel­op­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties for them.

I look for­ward to sup­port­ing Gov­er­nor Bob’s goals as we work togeth­er to sup­port Kiwa­nis Inter­na­tion­al new mem­ber­ship growth ini­tia­tive: to  open new clubs, strength­ened exist­ing clubs espe­cial­ly those under char­ter strength , ensure our new clubs are strong , while find­ing ways to attract younger mem­bers to our var­i­ous clubs. This will cer­tain­ly augur well for keep­ing our dis­trict strong in mem­ber­ship and strong in ser­vice.

My best wish­es to all the clubs for a suc­cess­ful year of ser­vice and fel­low­ship.

Gov­er­nor ‑Elect 2019–2020
