Canadian National Anthem & Non-Denominational Prayer, Bruce Berven IV. Circle K International Pledge, Camille Tyler V. Approval of Agenda a. A motion was made by Subregion D Trustee Sara Nguyen to approve the agenda. b. Motion passed 9-0-0. Old Business VI. Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 4 Absent 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 5 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. Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 6 January Board Meeting Minutes VII. 2. A motion was made by International Vice President Jessica Davis to accept the Executive Committee’s recommendation and remove the District Strength assessment in the policy code. 3. Motion passed 9-0-0. ii. Governing Documents Proposal 1. A copy of the proposal can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T34ZAjlk 2MwsrSg3ChXDelelJP52XFA0P7FRdyMTBM/edit?usp=sharing 2. A motion was made by Subregion C Trustee Emily Bagwell to remove the recommended changes to Section P subsections 4 (a)(b). Therefore leaving the policy code as it is currently written. New Business a. Oratorical Contest i. They say that life is more than living from moment to moment but every great origin story has an 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 prompt for CKIx. iii. Motion passed 9-0-0. b. Service Committee Proposals i.

The Service Committee recommends that starting in 2017 the Show Your Love, Save A Life fundraising campaign sends its donations to March of Dimes. 2. A motion was made by Subregion Trustee Emily Bagwell to accept the Service Committee’s recommendation. 3. Motion passed 9-0-0. c. Partnerships i. UNICEF 1. With the Eliminate Project coming to an end CKI clubs wanted to know how the partnership would be changing with UNICEF. 2. A motion was made by Subregion B Trustee Jenny Park to direct all future UNICEF donations including Trick or Treat for UNICEF funds to UNICEF’s Clean Water Initiative. 3. Motion passed 9-0-0. ii. St. Baldrick’s Foundation 1. St. Baldrick’s is a foundation which grants money to organizations working on eradicating childhood cancer. They wish to begin a CauseMarketing partnership with Circle K International. 2. A motion was made by International Vice President Jessica Davis to accept the St. Baldrick’s foundation as a Cause-Marketing partnership and to have an inaugural kick off event at CKIx16 in Toronto. 3. Motion passed 9-0-0. iii. Strategic Plan Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 8 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. Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 9 January Board Meeting Minutes VIII. 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. Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 10 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. Circle K International Board Book, Winter Edition 12 International President 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.

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. Committee Directives 6.
