Kiwanis Classic Club

An exciting approach for classic clubs
2

• Builds on our foundation of success
• Embraces the best practices of the past
• Abandons things that are not helping us grow
• Refreshes things that need to be updated
• Invites others to join us

• Yes because the House of Delegates in 2007 in San
  Antonio approved a membership flexibility
  amendment which specifically says
• Notwithstanding any other provision of the
  Kiwanis International Bylaws, the Standard Form
  for Club Bylaws, or the Standard Form for
  District Bylaws, the International Board of
  Trustees may admit into Kiwanis membership and/or
  permit the creation of new forms of Kiwanis
  membership consistent with the Objects of Kiwanis
  International, which may extend for a period not
  exceeding five (5) years without approval of the
  House of Delegates. The Chief Executive Officer
  of Kiwanis International shall make an annual
  report to the House of Delegates covering any
  such Board actions taken or authorized and make
  an evaluation of their current effectiveness.

• Kiwanis memberships are club based so the club
  invites who can join and in what form
• Clubs can approve the options and then expand
  opportunities for membership at the local level
• Growth in our organization will depend upon the
  innovative and creative approaches to membership
  our classic clubs take over the next
  few years

5

• Kiwanis clubs have been responsible for many new
  and innovative programs in our organization
• K-Kids, CKI, KCI, Aktion, Builders, YCPO all came
  about because a club and district developed them
  first
• Clubs can request KI Board approval
  of their new ideas
