How to Run for Club Office Note: Procedures may vary per club. The following steps are for general guidance. Step 1. Declare your candidacy to your club president who will tell you exactly what to do. Step 2. After deciding to run and acquiring information, it is highly recommended to attend clubmeetings and club events, as you should already be attending. Step 3. As election season approaches, your club officers will announce when the elections will be taking place. Ask your club officers if there are any forms to be filled out. Some clubs may require the submission of an Agreement to Serve Form. Step 4. Turn in the forms. If applicable, Agreement to Serve Forms will be due at least one week prior to the election. If your club requires a different form or application, ask your club president for specific instructions on how to complete and submit. Step 5. Prepare for the elections. Write a speech to tell the members why you are fit for the position you are seeking. Explain your goals and the benefits you will bring to the club. Also prepare yourself for questions that may be asked during the caucus session. Remember that campaigning is not allowed and may jeopardize your election. Step 6. Know the exact date of the election, so you can prepare for the day accordingly. Contact your club president for this information. You will be required to be physically present at the elections. Step 7. Dress to impress! Wear business casual attire (slacks, a polo, nice shoes, etc.). Although you might be surrounded by your friends, it’s best to maintain a professional composure and look. Step 8. Show up for the elections. At this point, you should be able to present your speech and proceed through a caucus session.
5
Benefits of Running Stepping out of your comfort zone: Running for office may be a completely new experience, but it can allow you to go beyond your comfort zone and discover your potential.
Confidence in yourself: From the days of preparing to your speech to the final moment of delivering it, you can become more confident.
Chance for reflection on strengths: You have the opportunity to reflect on your abilities when deciding which position you are most suited for and when presenting yourself to the members during the election.
Communication with others: While preparing, you learn to communicate and ask for advice from current officers, Kiwanis and Faculty Advisors, and your principal.
Improvisation skills: You’ll learn how to react quickly and think on the spot through answering caucus questions.
Improvement on public speaking: Writing and rehearsing a speech for the election is good practice to improve public speaking.
Gaining knowledge about Key Club: In preparation, you develop a better understand of the organization and the duties of the officers.
Experience in running for office: Running for a Key Club position gives you experience in preparing for future elections for Key Club or other organizations.
6
Tips for Running Your Speech Make an outline of what you want to talk about or completely write it out Share it with anyone who can provide feedback Rehearse it to make sure you stay within the given time and still have time for questions Practice it with your friends, family, yourself, in front of a mirror, etc. Control your volume – don’t be too quiet or too loud
Questioning Review the duties since questions could be based off them Ask people what kind of questions they would ask you Ask past candidates what common questions they received When preparing answers, try to avoid generic responses As it varies, prepare for both fun and serious questions that members may ask
Calming your Nerves Figure out what relaxes you Take deep, slow breaths Eat fruit or drink orange juice Look at someone you are close to in the audience to avoid being overwhelmed by people you don't know in the audience Practice, practice, practice! This way you feel prepared and confident.
7
Benefits of Being Elected Time management: Being an officer will enable you to learn how to manage time efficiently in balancing schoolwork, Key Club work, and other commitments.
Becoming more responsible:Â With deadlines to meet and duties to fulfill, you will develop a strong sense of responsibility.
Being a team player:Â Because you will serve the members as a team, you will learn how to work with others and respect their opinions.
Becoming a role model:Â Members will look up to you; therefore, you can be the leader who inspires them to do more for the community and Key Club.
Technology skills: Whether you are a club secretary or the District Governor, you will become familiar with technology to make promotion materials, keep records, and communicate with others through email.
8
Benefits of Being Elected Organization skills: Because you will need to keep track of dates, paperwork, and members, you’ll learn to become organized.
Communication etiquette: Working with a variety of people, you will learn the appropriate way to address and communicate with certain groups (ex. Kiwanis, club members, school administration).
Stronger leadership: You will develop leadership skills through serving the members, making decisions for the interest of the club, and planning events.
Involvement in the community: You will be involved in planning service events, so you will get to be more active in the community.
Friendships and fun: As an officer, you can form close friendships with your board and meet new people throughout the division and district, members and officers. In addition, because you will be greatly involved in Key Club, you will get to experience more Key Club fun!

Issuu is a publishing platform. The District Editor recommends all clubs have an Issuu account to publish their newsletters online as well as read the Tex-O-Key. You can find sources of inspiration too. Submit newsletters through a PDF or an Issuu link.
Microsoft Publisher is another program for creating newsletters. However, purchasing Microsoft Publisher can be costly while you can use Canva for free. One perk of Microsoft Publisher is that you can view a 2 page spread.
If you don't know where to start, YouTube is a great resource for beginning editors. You can search up Canva tutorials or Microsoft Publisher tutorials and learn the basics of starting a newsletter.

Members work together by sponsoring fundraising events and conducting service projects at their local children's hospitals. Contact your local CMN hospital and invite a representative to a club meeting to share ideas and create a partnership. Since the 1940s, Key Clubs have worked with March of Dimes to make a positive impact in the lives of babies everywhere. Today, Kiwanis members continue that culture of service by supporting the March of Dimes all year long by hosting service projects, raising funds and educating communities about the crisis of preterm birth. UNICEF is the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children. Working with other United Nations bodies, governments and non-governmental organizations, UNICEF helps to provide for children’s needs in more than 150 developing countries through community-based services in primary health care, basic education and safe water and sanitation.
K Corps is Kiwanis International’s youth exchange program for Key Clubbers. It’s a great opportunity to experience a unique culture, provide service, make lifelong friends, and see spectacular sights half a world away! Participants are hosted by Japanese families, and scholarship opportunities are available. Project Happiness inspires and empowers club members to create greater happiness within themselves and their communities addressing the bullying issue at its core. The Key Club Guide to Project Happiness shares exercises, discussions, games and tools based on Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness to re-wire the brain for happiness. Why does happiness matter? Happier people enjoy life.
