No Discussion. 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes Vice President Ahnert moved to approve amendment 9. Trustee Pevarnek seconded. â&#x20AC;˘ Trustee Ludlow explained that he originally removed the amendment from the block because he was concerned about the restriction of not having a maximum membership limit. He felt that this statement of what clubs can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do was unnecessarily restrictive; !

however, he realized that it was already apart of the original policy code wording. 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes V. Miscellaneous A. CKIx Trustee Ludlow inquired about how the current attendance numbers for CKIx is affecting the budget. Director Martz said that we are fine when it comes to the CKIx budget. The current attendance is 342 with 250 of them attending the entire week. B. Subregion Events Trustee Ludlow brought up the possibility of creating a policy code amendment related to preventing Subregion events for Trustee Sammut. He believes that it has been made clear that events can no longer be marketed as subregion events. Trustee Ludlow asked what the board thought about adding it to the policy code to ensure there isn’t any misconception. Trustee Kuang didn’t think that Subregion events are an issue. He explained that trustees aren’t able to fund large events anyway so it isn’t needed in the policy code. Trustee Sammut stated that if CKI is saying that we aren’t allowed to host Subregion events then it should be stated somewhere. She doesn’t believe that it is clear based on the confusion the board had during the January discussion. She further explained that a district couldn’t be reprimanded for something that isn’t defined in CKI’s governing documents. Also she added that the board wants districts to focus on one international event, CKIx, and that subregion events take away from that convention experience and lowered attendance. Trustee Bour passed. Trustee Lacaba passed.

%! !

Trustee Pevarnek addressed the previous comment about Subregion events discouraging members from attending international convention by saying that it wasn’t an issue. He did like the idea of putting it in policy code stating what the boundaries for these events actually are. Trustee David unexpectedly left the meeting. Trustee Le agreed that it is important to state explicitly what can and cannot be done. She stated that there have been a lot of questions about the topic. The amendment can state what they can’t have and explain why it doesn’t count. Districts can have big events and invite others but they need to know how to do it the right way. Vice President Ahnert liked the idea of stating it in the policy code, but that the wording would be important. Trustee Mason didn’t believe that it should be stated negatively, like “can not have subregion event,” but the policy code could list what events they can have. Trustee Ludlow asked President Tsang if the amendments at this meeting would be brought up at the International Council Meeting at CKIx or if a meeting prior to convention would be held. President Tsang confirmed that the International Council Meeting would be held at CKIx in Nashville, TN. Trustee Ludlow decided that he would put together wording for an amendment before the CKI board meeting at convention prior to the International Council Meeting so it can be discussed. He also mentioned including wording related to districts being allowed to invite others. Trustee Sammut agreed with Trustee Ludlow. Trustee Pevarnek asked for clarification on what the reason for restricting these events actually is for potential wording ideas. !

Director Martz explained that referring to events as subregion events puts responsibility on the trustee, whether it is financially or liability. Vice President Ahnert noted that there might be a restriction on the amount of time you give the International Council to review amendment prior to a International Council Meeting. If so, then any wording approved by the International Board would need to be brought up after our term. President Tsang would look at the governing documents and see if there are any time restrictions. He also asked that everyone give input on the wording Trustee Ludlow creates through the Google Document. C. Updates Each member of the International Board has submitted a report, which is included in the following sections of the Board Book. Also the committee and task force reports are included in the Board Book. Director Martz provided the following update: He urged the board to push CKIx attendees to reserve hotel rooms by the June 1 deadline. The hotel is already stretching their typical deadline for groups. He also reminded everyone to start making a list of what they want to pass onto their successor. It is important to start planning the transition process now because the meeting Sunday morning after convention is short and everyone will be worn out. As mentioned in his email earlier that week, Heather McAlister will be taking over the CKI Program Specialist for Maria Demko. She has six years of experience working for Kiwanis International and has been a neighborhood facilitator for Leadership Academy the past two years. Her first day in the position will be in Nashville, TN.

&'! !

This year whenever he has mention CKI to anyone he gets a positive response. He partially credits the International Board for this change and mentioned that CKI is no longer the redheaded stepchild of the Kiwanis Family as Past President Amanda Marfisi had described it. This is due to CKIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work throughout the last couple year, especially when it comes to funds raised for The Eliminate Project. VI. Adjournment Daniel moved to adjourn the board meeting at 10:20 pm (EST).

Board Reports: Subregion C Trustee

First of all, I would like to begin by saying how absolutely pleased I am with how transitioning has gone across all of the district in Subregion C. Overall, I have been delighted to see supportive successors who know when to offer help and when to step back, as well as receptive governors serving now who know when to accept advice and when to make decisions on their own. Having had the chance to talk to this new class of governors, both as a group and individually, I have an unbounded amount of hope for their districts in this coming year. They have many great teams backing them up, both each other and their boards, and I know they will both have the support they need this year and will be able to offer their own support where needed. In short, I have the highest level of confidence for the success of Subregion C in this coming year. Personally, with my year now coming to an end, it’s hard to not feel both sadness and joy. By the time this report is released, I will have less than a month left in office. This year, I have managed to have an amazing year working with the fantastic governors of Subregion C. Among other highlights, I have had the joy of visiting the most amazing districts in all of CKI and watching these districts all come together for the I-I Holiday Embrace and Winter Escape. I cannot overstate the impact that the governor’s have had on each other, and on me, and I believe their camaraderie is what makes this subregion so amazing. To all those in Subregion C, thank you for giving me the chance to serve as your trustee; I can think of no greater honour than to have had the chance to serve you, and I can think of no greater joy than that which I have had while doing so.

Summary of Committee’s Actions The KFR committee successfully recorded a Kiwanis One Day webinar on Wednesday, March 26th. The major focus of the Kiwanis Family Relations Committee is to complete our Kiwanis Family Guide before the end of our terms. Committee Directives 1.

Progress: In-Progress

Our committee has been busy as we released the March-April issue of “Service Worth A Glance”, developed a new resource for STUFH and a Facebook page for STUFH, ran an awareness campaign for The Six Cents Initiative, have discussed two different organizations for possible partnership with Circle K International, and we’re almost done! Currently we are focusing on CKI Service Fair at Nashville, which will be a really fun event that I encourage each and every one of you to participate in! We also have the opportunity to share our love for CKI’s Preferred Charities and Service Partners during a General Service Session at CKIx so expect to hear from us then. Lastly, I just want to thank the Large Scale Service Project Committee Chair Morgan Fierro for doing such an amazing job with actively updating our committee and maintaining her own. Our committee will finish this year strong and we hope the new committee will do just the same! Committee Directives 1.

Social Potential Innovative Club Enhancement Committee Report

"#! !

Appendix: Proposed Policy Code Amendments Recommended by the Executive Committee Section B. International Administration 3. General a. The date of the first chartering of a Circle K club is September 25, 1947, and CKI was declared an international organization on October 23, 1955. Both dates are celebrated as anniversaries of the organization. b. The official colors of CKI are blue, white, and gold, representing unwavering character, purity, and service, respectively. c. English shall be the official language of CKI for literature, printed materials, and communications to all clubs. The Board may approve the use of other languages. Communications and resources may also be issued in other languages when needed. d. As the official publication of CKI, the Circle K magazine shall include articles of general interest to college students and articles promoting the service initiative of CKI. e. As an official website of CKI, the address www.circlek.org shall serve as a marketing tool for the organization and as a resource for clubs to access up-to-date information on the organization. Rationale: The current wording restricts the use of other languages without Board approval. By adding this flexibility, the Board wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to approve all documents tailored to non-English speaking clubs.

Recommended by the Executive Committee Section B. International Administration 5. CKI Convention a. Per Article 19 of the CKI Bylaws, the Director shall oversee the planning and execution of the agenda of the annual convention of Circle K International. Working with the Director, the Board shall determine the dates and location of the annual CKI Convention and shall control and approve convention plans and program. The site of the convention will be determined by a rotation of cities in each Subregion within North America. In each Subregion there will be no more than five cities that the CKI Board will select from. (10/06) b. CKI Board lapel pins shall be presented to members upon installation to the CKI Board and exchanged for another upon installment of their successors.

55!

Rationale: The former language did not reflect the actual procedure followed at the moment. The new language leaves more room for Kiwanis staff to make procedural decisions. 3

Recommend by the Executive Committee Section B. International Administration 5. CKI Convention a. Per Article 19 of the CKI Bylaws, the Director shall oversee the planning and execution of the agenda of the annual convention of Circle K International. Working with the Director, the Board shall determine the dates and location of the annual CKI Convention and shall control and approve convention plans and program. The site of the convention will be determined by a rotation of cities in each Subregion within North America. In each Subregion there will be no more than five cities that the CKI Board will select from. (10/06) b. CKI Board lapel pins shall be presented to members upon installation to the CKI Board and exchanged for another upon installment of their successors. Rationale: This information does not fit under the current section and isn’t necessary.

Recommended by the Executive Committee Section B. International Administration 6. Service Initiative of CKI and Service Week a. “Focusing on the Future: Children” shall be the ongoing Service Initiative of Circle K International. Circle K International shall support Kiwanis International’s vision partners, preferred charities, and promotional partners, and service partners. Additionally, Circle K International may select independent organizations to recommend as a service opportunity for clubs of Circle K International. Those organizations include March of Dimes, Students Team Up to Fight Hunger (STUFH), Better World Books and UNICEF. Rationale: This section does not cover information about CKI Service Week and therefore should not be included in the title.

6. Service Initiative of CKI and Service Week a. “Focusing on the Future: Children” shall be the ongoing Service Initiative of Circle K International. Circle K International shall support Kiwanis International’s vision partners, preferred charities, and promotional partners, and service partners. Additionally, Circle K International may select independent organizations, known as service partners, to recommend as a service opportunity for clubs of Circle K International. Those organizations CKI’s preferred charities and service partners include March of Dimes, Students Team Up to Fight Hunger (STUFH), Better World Books and UNICEF. Rationale: The original wording listed service partners as a Kiwanis partnership, while it is actually defined in the next sentence. Also clarification on what the organizations listed were called, since the original wording implied that only service partners were listed. 7

Recommended by the Executive Committee Section C. Districts 3. The process for approval of amendments to district bylaws shall be as follows: b. All amendments approved by the district convention delegates and the Kiwanis District Board of Officers, upon submission to the CKI Office, shall first be reviewed by the International Director. i. If such amendments do not conflict with the CKI Bylaws, Policy Code, appropriate Regional Policy Codes of Circle K International or Kiwanis International, and the Standard Form for Circle K District Bylaws, and do not establish new precedents, they shall be approved by the International Director with such approval reported to the CKI Board at the next available meeting. ii. If such conflicts or precedents do exist, the amendments shall be submitted to the CKI Board for review and action at the next available meeting. All such amendments submitted by May 15 will be acted upon by the CKI Board at the next meeting. Amendments submitted after May 15 will be acted upon at the next available board meeting, providing such amendments are received by the CKI Office at least thirty (30) days prior to the published start of the board meeting. Rationale: This change reflects current practices.

8 !

Recommended by the Executive Committee 57!

Section C. Districts 3. The process for approval of amendments to district bylaws shall be as follows: c. The CKI Executive Committee shall modify the Standard Form for Circle K District Bylaws (as necessary) to conform to amendments to the Bylaws and Policy Code of Circle K International, along with amendments approved by the CKI Board. Such changes shall be reported to the CKI Board at the next available meeting. Each district shall be notified of the changes and given sixty (60) days after notification to incorporate the changes into its district bylaws. This change in the district bylaws is not subject to district House of Delegates approval, as district bylaws must be in accordance with the Bylaws and Policy Code of Circle K International. Changes made to district bylaws through this process will not require approval by the district House of Delegates. Rationale: This simplifies the wording by removing the justification. 9

Recommended by the Executive Committee Section D. Clubs 1. Membership in Clubs a. Any student that can uphold the objects of Circle K International, who is officially enrolled in a college, university, vocational, or trade school, as defined by the same institution at which the club exists, may be elected to active membership in said club.

Recommended by the Executive Committee Section D. Clubs 3. Activities a. Service is one of the main activities of a CKI club. A service project shall be consistent with the objectives and policies of CKI, planned by the CKI club or a club committee, and performed by members of the club for the benefit of others. b. Other activities consistent with the laws, mores, customs, and traditions of the area in which the CKI club exists may be carried out, provided such activities and proceedings are not in conflict with the CKI Bylaws or Policy Code and do not impugn the good name of CKI or Kiwanis. All activities of each club must be compatible with the Objects of CKI. c. Each CKI club has absolute autonomy in selecting its service projects as long as they are consistent with the Objects of CKI. Rationale: This is an unnecessary statement that does not belong with the definition of service projects.

Recommend by the Executive Committee Section H. Governor Reporting to International 1. By the 15 of every month, the governor will submit a monthly report form regarding his/her district to the international board. a. Purpose i. These report forms serve as another way each governor can contact the international board. ii. These reports allow governors to reflect on their districts, request help as needed, and inform their international board of their needs. iii. These report forms are meant to be succinct but include th

The International President and International Vice President and may contact each governor as needed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; focusing on administrative, communicative, and service aspects of the report. iii. The International Trustee will holistically evaluate each monthly report form, contact his/her governors, and effectively adapt his/her actions to his/her districtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. Rationale: This could have been a misspelling or words could have been removed. 21

Recommend by the Executive Committee Section J. Replacement or appointment of an International Board Member 1.

8. Code of Conduct The following CKI International Code of Conduct will be in effect at all CKI conventions and events: d. There is no curfew hour; however, in consideration of others, Circle K members must be in rooms, with closed doors, by 12:30 a.m., and gatherings must be contained within the room. Loud noises and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Rationale: A curfew has not been enforced at CKI conventions and events and therefore should not be listed. 27

Recommend by the Executive Committee Section Q. Fiscal Policy and Responsibility 1. To ensure that CKI funding is at an appropriate level, the CKI Board shall: a. Make a thorough evaluation of the International Operational Plan and Budget with the intent of proposing a change in dues rate every three administrative years (beginning in the 1999-2000 administrative year). No changes in the dues rate is required during each evaluation, but is recommended, and changes in the dues rate may also be made at necessary times between evaluations. b. If three years after the tiered dues structure has been in effect and member nations that pay tiered dues have not increased in membership to offset the initial loss of revenue from the first year of the tiered dues structure being implemented, the CKI Board must re-examine the tiered dues system, including the elimination of the policy. (10/04) 2. Assess International dues in regards to the following: a. If staff presents evidence that Circle K International is in need of a dues adjustment in the first two months of the CKI Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative year, the CKI board must research and propose a feasible new dues structure. This dues adjustment will be voted on at the next feasible International Convention, allowing for proper education of CKI members in regards to a dues adjustment. (10/04) Rationale: Reflects current practices and removes the section that includes instructions for review after a certain amount of time.
