January Board Meeting Minutes
a. October Board Meeting Minutes
i. A motion was made by Subregion F Trustee Vy Tran to
approve the October Board Meeting Minutes as
submitted in the Fall Board Book.
ii. Motion passed 9-0-0.
b. Pacific Northwest District Bylaws.
i. A motion was made by Subregion A Trustee Cedric
Mah to approve the Pacific Northwest District Bylaws as
submitted from the 2015 District Convention.
ii. Motion passed 9-0-0.
c. Subregions-Analytics Committee Report
i. The analytics committee submitted a proposal outlining
their program analysis of the current subregion system.
1. Inception-the beginnings of the subregion
system.
2. Reasons for changing to the subregion system.
a. Membership
b. Cost
c. Streamlining Communication
3. Case against Subregions
a. Student leadership
i. There are no votes of no confidence,
and therefore the individual may not
be the most qualified when other
subregions have multiple more
qualified individuals.
b. Grouping similar districts rather than
geography
c. The Expanding Range of Responsibilities of
trustees
i. Working on committees that serve all
of CKI, but only elected by
Subregion delegates.
d. Questionable cost savings-while travelling
outside of the trustee’s subregion seems
cheaper, it mostly depends on the airport
that the individual is flying out of.
e. Lack of Candidates- this would allow for
the most qualified individual to be running,
not just those within a subregion. This is
extremely prudent to the smaller districts
who may not have the support to be able
to produce a candidate.
Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition

January Board Meeting Minutes
4. Case for Subregions
a. District Fellowship-Comradery that is able
to be built between the districts. Dissolving
such may also dissolve these feelings.
b. District Knowledge-Members are likely to
be move familiar with the district structure
and functions within their own subregions
rather than all 32 districts as each is unique.
5. Resolution-the 2014-2015 International Council
indicated that they would prefer to keep the
current system of Trustees.
6. Final recommendations: Electing the trustees
from a pool of of candidates running for election
not restricted by subregions. The elected
individuals will later be assigned by the
International President and Vice President to their
respective subregions. The districts of the
subregion will stay in that current subregion.
ii. A motion was made by International Vice President
Jessica Davis to accept the Analytics Committee’s
recommendation and hold an open election for
trustees at international convention whereas they
would later be assigned to a specific subregion by the
International President and Vice President.
iii. Motion passed 8-1-0.
d. District Strength Proposal
i. The Executive Committee Report
1. Remove the previous District Strength assessment
that is currently in the policy. Implement a selfassessment developed by the committee.
a. Pros: Many districts feel as though the
current system is inefficient and creates a
hierarchy. A self assessment allows for
scrutiny of current systems for better
improvement that is geared towards the
individual district rather than only
comparing across the organization.
b. Cons: We are one organization and need
to have some sort of mechanism to
evaluate the districts similarly. The current
system allows for differences in district size
already.

2. A motion was made by International Vice
President Jessica Davis to accept the Executive

Bagwell to remove the recommended changes
to Section P subsections 4 (a)(b). Therefore

a. Oratorical Contest

unforgettable moment to hook in its audience; what
was your redefining Circle K moment?
ii. A motion was made by Subregion B Trustee Jenny Park
to accept this submission as the Oratorical Contest

Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition

January Board Meeting Minutes
The Executive Committee proposed the new
Strategic plan and can be found at
http://issuu.com/racheilericklefs/docs/strategic_
plan/1
1.
2. A motion was made by International Vice
President Jessica Davis to accept the proposal as
written.
3. Motion passed 9-0-0.
iv. Committee Chair Responsibilities
1. A motion was made to make the following
changes to Article 20 Section 3 Chair Assignment
and Responsibilities.
a. The International President and
International Vice President shall assign a
chairperson or facilitator, with the advice
and consent of the Board, for each Board
and Ad-hoc committee and Task Force.
b. All Committee Chairs will convene in no
less than four (4) meetings per CKI year to
be overseen by the International Vice
President.
c. All other duties of the International
Committee Chairs will be assigned by the
International President and Vice President
in consultation with the CKI Director and
International Board of Trustees and
outlined in the application agreement.
2. Pros:
a. This year the committees have been
encouraged to work with one another, but
it has been difficult to facilitate those
working relationships. This change will
hopefully ease this issues.
b. The International President and Vice
President should be working as a team
when assigning these positions, because
although the President is is creating the adhoc committees and task forces, the Vice
President is the one overseeing and
advising those committees.
c. These additional meetings could help with
issues of overlap with directives.

3. Cons: The Chairs already have a lot of
responsibilities, and this would be adding another
meeting to that list.
4. Motion passed 9-0-0.
v. LSSP Committee Structure
1. A motion was made to make the following
changes to Article 20 Section 1 subsection a, d,
and e.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13eLkgq
NY03RMW7kwZoVNrsVhkd3XHhLEnFYaS0Q6q28/e
dit?usp=sharing
2. Pros:
a. LSSP has grown since it’s inception and
now that both ICON and LSSP are one
event it is time to complete those changes
in the name. Additionally, the event and
time that it takes to organize each aspect
of the event it is time for the committee to
be its own standing committee.
b. The International Board has benefited from
having a trustee as the chair to help
streamline communication from the
committee to the board. The standing
committee rank would still allow for
general members to be the chair of the
committee, but will have to have
previously served on the committee.
3. Cons: Changing to a standing committee would
not allow for general members to be the chair of
the committee.
4. Motion passed 8-0-1.
Adjournment. 9:25 am EDT.

International President
Hello Circle K International,
I hope all of you have had a great start to
2016! Now that we are back from our holiday
breaks, which I am sure many of you will
agree were too short, it is time to get back
into the swing of things. I hope that each of
you feel rejuvenated and are ready to
tackle your goals and finish this CKI year
strong. As we continue serving this year, I
want to remind each of you that your hard
work truly makes a difference and that we
value your contributions and
accomplishments.
BOARD UPDATE
Informal Board Meeting
Due to the timing of our fall meetings, the International Board held two
informal board meetings leading up to our official meeting in January.
The first informal board meeting was held November 24. During this
meeting the board discussed the District Strength, the proposal of policy
code and bylaw changes from the Governing Documents Committee,
and subregions.
The second informal board meeting was held January 17. During this
meeting the board continued the discussions from the previous informal
meeting with the addition of new proposals and information. During this
meeting the board also discussed the 2016 Governor’s and Administrator’s
Training Conference curriculum.
Third Official International Board Meeting
Our third official International Board meeting was held on January 24,
2016. During our meeting we discussed a wide range of topics. The board
approved the following:
o PNW’s Bylaws
o Oratorical contest topic
o Tomorrow Fund Grant recipients
o Strategic Plan
o Saint Baldrick’s Initiative
o UNICEF Clean Water Initiative
Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition
11
International President
o This initiative will allow us to continue our work with UNICEF
once the Eliminate Project is over, as well as allow us to
continue where we left off with the 6 Cents Initiative.
However, the Clean Water Initiative will be different from 6
Cents. It will also allow for CKI to continue Trick-or-Treat for
UNICEF with the funds going toward a water initiative. If you
have any questions, please ask.
o Show your Love, Save a life 2017
o We will continue Show your Love, Save a life but with the
funds being designated for March of Dimes beginning in
2017.
The board also endorsed several proposals that will be going to the
International Council.
o District Strength Proposal
o Instead having a benchmark system that rates Districts and
compares them to each other we propose a District Self
Assessment. This self-assessment will be a series of questions
that District Governors will be able to complete and
determine where their strengths and weaknesses are in key
areas. The goal of a self-assessment is to allow a District to
look at its individual progress.
o Large Scale Service Project Committee Structure
o This proposal will change the LSSP Committee from a substanding committee to a standing committee, while also
changing the name of the committee from LSSP to CKIx
Planning Committee.
o Committee Chair Responsibilities
o This proposal will have all committee chairs convene no less
than 4 times per CKI year in order to better collaborate on
future projects and campaigns.
o Governing Documents Proposal
o This proposal contains both changes to the Policy Code and
Bylaws. A complete list of the suggested changed can be
found on page [7]
o Tomorrow Fund Grant Proposal
Lastly, the board moved a Subregion Proposal to the Executive
Committee to finalize.
For more information on the proposals that were endorsed, please see
page [7] If you have any questions about these proposals, please ask.

Toronto Site Visit & CKIx
While we were in Toronto for our board meeting, we were also able to visit
the convention center where our CKIx sessions will be held and explore
the surrounding areas in the city. Toronto is an amazing city with a lot to
offer. I encourage each one of you to check out the CKIx page [here]
and to attend CKIx 2016.
President’s Update
Communication
Since the last board book, Jessica and I have spoken individually with a
majority of the Governors in order to keep them updated and find ways to
better serve them. Not only that but I have consistently worked to
maintain communication with the members of Circle K through a variety
of platforms. This includes email, phone calls social media, Governor
open forums with Jessica, sending out updates, and maintaining open
lines of communication with International Trustees, Bruce Berven, the CKI
Counselor from the Kiwanis International Board, and weekly phone calls
with the CKI Director, Chris Martz, and CKI Specialist, Heather McAlister.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee has been quite busy. We have completed a
handful of our directives, including updating the strategic plan, creating a
proposal for District Strength, and completing the curriculum for the
Governor’s and Administrator‘s Training Conference (GATC). The
Executive Committee is also hosting a live webinar on February 1st to go
over a few things about running for International Office. We plan to hold
an additional live webinar later in the year to give a more in depth look
on what to expect at CKIx. We have also updated our directives to
include working on a subregion proposal, the key to college curriculum,
and a few other things. For more information about what the Executive
Committee has been doing, check out the Committee report that follows
the trustee updates.
CKI Year in Review
The CKI Year in Review was released on January 3, 2016 and can be
found [here]. The CKI Year in Review looks back at the past CKI
administrative year (October-October) and provides an update on
international goals, subregions, and district progress.

Subregion B Trustee
Happy New Year, CKIer:
With the start of 2016, the CKI Board of
Trustees have worked to prioritize
convention season. Thus, Subregion B
districts have in turn shifted their focus
from recruitment to celebration. In
this CKI term alone: CaliforniaNevada-Hawai’i, Rocky Mountain,
and Southwest have all succeeded
in striving for new benchmarks and
pushing their members to the
fullest potential. In this year alone,
I am beyond proud of the
dedication that Subregion B has
shown through increases in
membership, increases in retention
rate, addition of multiple chartered clubs,
increased Kiwanis Family Relations, and thorough
collaborations with the CKI preferred charities. Now as district
conventions are around the corner and CKIx not far behind, we are just
excited to spend the new few months sharing to the rest of organization
our adventures from these past few months. We hope to see you all in Los
Angeles, Tucson, and Fort Collins.

Subregion F Trustee
Hello, Subregion F! My name is Vy Tran and it is
almost DCON season! Time flies when you’re
serving as the 2015-2016 Subregion F
International Trustee, doing service by day and
answering emails by night! Since October, I
have been hundreds of CKIers from the
Eastern Canada, New England, New York,
New Jersey, and Capital District both online
and in person. All of the interactions I have
with all of you in the K-Family serve as a
constant reminder as to why I ran for this
position in the first place, and why it is so
important that we continue to help those in
our communities. If you have any questions
or concerns, please reach out to me!

Summary of Committee’s Actions
The Membership and marketing committee has been working diligently to
ensure that we are consistently publishing information that is deemed
important and relevant for our members to use. Our goals have been to
create resources that are more eye catching, comprehendible and easily
accessible, through video content, infographics, and membership
campaigns.
We are continue to publish member stories for the #MyCKIStory campaign
started early in September. We were ecstatic to have such a positive
response from the general membership over the campaign. During
Kiwanis Family Month the campaign was happy to receive stories from all
branches of the Kiwanis Family to share with all the members. Currently we
are happy to accept story submissions at the following link
http://tinyurl.com/MyCKIStory. We encourage you to share your story with
CKI; your story may inspire others to navigate their way to CKI and create
their own memories.
M&M has had the opportunity to provide original content to the preexisting #ChooseCKI campaign. Currently the committee has collected
original quotes from members on why they joined this organization. Daily
posts have been shared and well received. This campaign shall continue
throughout the term with a stronger push near the recruitment season.
We have attempted to reach a broader audience through different
platforms of communication, currently adding a repertoire of
informational and fun video publications. In addition to videos we are
working to update graphic standards for select resources. We have
completely recreated the social media guide to share with members on
the basics of using social media, in addition to a number of simple
infographics that are very comprehensive. We are expanding our work to
other international committees to working collaboratively to aide them
with whatever they require as well.

Summary of Committee’s Actions
The Service Committee has worked to enhance the connection between
our partnerships and the general membership. Through awareness
campaigns, promotional literature, tools and supplies we look to cultivate
membership engagement throughout Circle K International. Placing a
heavy focus on our tenet of [Service] we hope to make CKI Service a
brand that can be used when marketing our efforts as to encourage
continuous growth within our organization.
Committee Directives
1.
Promote the aims and initiatives of Circle K International’s
Preferred Charities, Service Partners, Promotional Partners, and
Community Partner.
Progress:
● Since our last report the committee has released our
winter edition of SWAG, service worth a glance.
o The winter edition gave members the opportunity to
become social media masterminds. We were able
to provide sample posts, images and videos that
could be used when promoting our partnerships.
The LSSP Committee also revealed one of their
service initiatives to be hosted at CKIx this year.
Future Steps:
● We are currently working on our next edition of SWAG. This
edition will be released in mid-late February and will be
catered towards DCON Season.
● We are also working on preparations for CKI Service Week.
Sample projects will be released in the coming weeks and
general information has already been distributed to the
International Council.
Member(s) Responsible: CKI Service Week will be a collaboration
effort between the Service Committee and the Kiwanis Family
Relations Committee as we prepare for Kiwanis One Day.
Additional research will be conducted by members of each
committee and will be distributed with the help of KI Staff.

by providing education, resources, and recognition.
Progress:
● We have hosted three awareness campaigns since our
last report. These campaigns include: Prematurity
Awareness Month, Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and Squash
Holiday Hunger. In addition to this we have hosted a
webinar for Better World Books, and have posted
informational videos on our social media to aid us in our
efforts to provide additional education on our
partnerships.
● We have reviewed all Tomorrow Fund grant applications
and have submitted our report to the International Board
for approval.
Future Steps:
● Upon approval of the Tomorrow Fund Grant applications,
an email communication will be sent out to all individuals
who applied stating their status.
● The partners for future campaigns that have yet to be
released include: JCI, Up With People, and Better World
Books.
Member(s) Responsible: Email communications will be sent out
by the Service Chair regarding TOF Grant Statuses; while
campaigns will be released by their respective ambassador.
3.
To develop mediums in which members can share and
showcase service.
Progress:
● We have finalized the location of the CKIx Service Fair and
are currently looking at ways to encourage clubs to
display their projects during the event. We recognize that
international travel will be occurring and will be
brainstorming in the coming weeks to determine
alternative solutions for clubs that may experience issues
because of this.
● The CKI Service Week Recognition Form is currently being
reviewed as we are looking to see how we can be best
represent the diverse projects that occur throughout the
service year.
Future Steps:
● We will be releasing the Service Recognition Form for CKI
Service Week in the coming weeks.
● Additionally, we will be creating a plan to encourage
individuals to participate in the CKIx Service Fair.

Summary of Committee’s Actions
Since the last report, the Alumni Relations Committee has been working
on a variety of resources that are targeted towards not only Circle K
members, but also Key Club and Kiwanis members and clubs. We have
also made a slight structural change where each member is assigned to a
Sub-Region and the corresponding Key Club and Kiwanis Districts. This
new structure will allow for a more personal connection for each District
Governor and will ensure that information concerning the opportunities to
stay involved once graduating is well known throughout all branches.
Committee Directives
1.
Increase Key Club Alumni members that join CKI
Progress: In Progress
• Created a webinar targeted at Key Club Alumni entering
college/university
• Started some resources that will provide information on
what Kiwanis Family opportunities are available to Key
Club Alumni

with District Leadership
Future Steps:
• Contact all Key Club Governors by the end of January
informing them of the opportunities after graduating
• Create more resources and distribute them to CKI and Key
Club districts

extent of our organization while answering questions
submitted by Key Club Alumni to let them know that CKI
can help their transition.
Future Steps:

for all branches, it shows that CKI is taking an initiative to
encourage members at all levels to continue in the Kiwanis
Family and in the process making Circle K more known

Summary of Committee’s Actions
Since the last board report in September, the CKI Analytics Committee
has focused on three aspects of the organization that we can analyze finances, membership, and structure as well as held many one-on-ones,
internal polls, recorded ourselves in the Membership and Marketing
Committee holiday video, and seen the internal appointment of a new
committee secretary Leah Conover from Florida District.
In our financial analysis, we discussed the general membership statistics
available, trends, long term growth, dues, promotional costs per member,
the financial stability of the organization, convention expenses, and the
Circle K International Board budget. In summary, membership dues
comprised the vast majority of the CKI budget which has yielded deficits
in years where membership has decreased and CKI expenditures have
remained constant. Specific analyses and recommendations were
submitted to the International Board this January 2016, with the possibility
of future analysis with membership dues.
With regards to communication structure, we looked at two specific
aspects in particular - subregion discussion and comparisons to other
organizations. In our comparisons, we determined many differences
between Circle K International and other organizations including our new
partner Junior Chamber International, Rotary International's Rotaract, and
Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity in terms of organizational structure,
leadership, and a summary of an overall comparison. With regards to
subregions, we found many alternate plans to consider and evaluated
Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition
81
Analytics Committee
each - the leading recommendation is to elect international officers from
an open pool of candidates non-restricted by subregions, who will then
be assigned subregions based on their strengths. Ultimately this process will
require reconsideration by the international board periodically in future
years. Both of these are summarized in reports presented to the
international board and available publicly at https://goo.gl/aI6SGF.
Finally, the committee dedicated time to create a new membership
survey to update our records from a CKI membership survey created in
January 2011 by the R&D international committee (independent of the
January 2016 Circle K Member Survey created by InteQ and Kiwanis
International). In doing so, we have already requested input and
feedback from district governors, committee chairpersons, and
international board members, looked at the questions from 2011,
reviewed what makes good survey questions, discussed a gift card
drawing, and discussed topics ranging from demographics, retention,
club membership, alumni, website, subregions, and social media
effectiveness for inclusion into the survey. Our intent with this survey is to
focus on Circle K's membership to ask the questions that help our
membership grow, and so that the district and international levels can
know what the members need most. Our next steps include the
administration of the survey including social media and survey distribution,
and then evaluation and analysis of the results and that of other surveys
available to us.
More detailed summaries of our committee progress and minutes
available upon request. We hope that with these analyses we can assist
Circle K International know more about its members, its finances, its
organization, and itself in the years to come.
