Carolinas District Club Coaching Event

August 18, 2017 12:30 - 5:00 pm

Registration is now closed.

Call Leah Moretz (800-739-1827) should you be interested in attending.

This event is specifically designed to present the critical club strengthening information from our broader-scoped Club Coaching Days.  During this special 1/2 day even, we will focus on the information and methods that make a difference to your club, your ocmmunity, and your members.

We intend this event, and those like it, to be the most valuable club strengthening activity of the year for every club in the Carolinas.

Who Should Attend?  Any Kiwanian in the Carolinas District is welcome to attend.  But, every club within a two-hour driving radius of Charleston, SC should plan to have representatives attend this event.  If you are a President-Elect or Club Secretary who has completed CLO, this is your logical next step in your club leadership education.  Club officers, Board members and committee chairs will find the material offered here particularly useful.  However, any member will benefit from the information being presented.

Why Is This Important?  Every club, regardless of size or strength, can grow and become stronger, and more effective in serving the youth of their communities.  This may be your only opportunity this year to get all this information in one place, on one day, close to home, and easily affordable.

Kids Need Kiwanis! 

And, Kiwanis Needs Stronger, More Effective Kiwanis Clubs.

What Does It Cost?  This event will cost $25 per person plus the investment of your time and energy.  It doesn’t get any more affordable than this! 

Deadline to register:  August 4, 2017

Program Overview

Keynote Address

“The 5 Elements of Successful Kiwanis Clubs.”  Successful Kiwanis clubs worldwide all share 5 important elements.  Learn what they are and why it is critical that your club embrace all 5 in order to succeed in its mission of providing service to your community.

Section 1: Your Club and Your Community

“The Importance of Relevant Hands-on Service.” The key to a vibrant, growing club is having a service portfolio that addresses unmet needs in the community and works to solve “real world” problems. Find out how to assess the relevance of your club’s service projects and build a more effective portfolio of service.

“Making A Difference Through Service.” Service Leadership Programs (SLPs) and branded service activities are the “crown jewels” of Kiwanis. SLPs not only serve the youth of your community in ways that no other programs do, they help bring new members and new vitality to your club. Learn how to start, expand or improve your club’s sponsorship of these vital gems.

“Rediscovering Your Community.”  Communities and community needs are constantly changing.  Find out how your club can gather the information it needs to assess what the community needs and how your club can best meet those needs.

“Strategic Planning for Clubs of All Sizes.”  Strategic planning is the process of determining where a club is going and how it is going to get there.  It is something that every club, of any size, should be doing on a regular basis.  Come find out how to do it in your club’s unique situation and what you will gain from the experience.  Also, learn about the Kiwanis I-Plan and what it means at the club level.

Section 2: Strengthening Your Club & Growing Your Membership

“Best Practices In Club Management.”  Tracking key indicators of your club’s performance can help you stay focused on your desired results and avoid common pitfalls in non-profit organization management.  Learn about some of the often-overlooked administrative aspects of managing a successful Kiwanis club and how to strengthen your club’s management.

“Attracting New Members  Opportunities and methods for attracting new members to a club have grown dramatically in recent years.  This session will explore both new and time-tested strategies for inviting new members to engage in Kiwanis service.

“Engaging and Retaining Members.”  Members will not stay with a club for long unless they are engaged in relevant, productive service and feel valued for their contributions.  Come explore ways to ensure that your members are active and happy in their Kiwanis service.

Club-Level Action Planning

You and the other members of your club in attendance will work with an experienced club coach to plan specific actions that you can take back to your club and begin immediately to help your club grow, and become more effective in serving your community.

Closing Comments

“Building Stronger, More Relevant Clubs TODAY.”  Learn how your club can work with your Lt. Governor or a trained club coach to help implement the things you have learned and planned today in your club tomorrow.
