November Board Meeting Summary: The International Board met to discuss Distinguished Awards, Standard Club Bylaws, and potential locations for International Convention 2017. One of the major changes made to all Distinguished Awards was in the “Service Hours” section. Due to the importance of service in CKI, the International Board decided to give service hours 2 points each, making the entire section out of 200 points. The Awards Task Force is making these approved changes and hopes to have the Distinguished Awards available soon!

See Pages 4-11.

CKI Clubs Around the World: Clubs in places like the Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia are excited to begin connecting with CKI members. The International Expansion Committee is working diligently to bring these members together! See Pages 49-51

I. Call to Order President Tsang called the November Board Meeting to order at 9:03 pm (EST). II. Explanation of Agenda Old Business Approval of September Board Meeting Minutes New Business Approval of 2014 Distinguished Awards Approval of Revisions to Standard Club Bylaws Recommendations for 2017 International Convention III. Approval of September Board Meeting Minutes Trustee Le moved to approve November Board Meeting minutes as stated. Trustee Sammut seconded. No Discussion. 8 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes #! !


IV. Approval of 2014 Distinguished Awards Trustee Ludlow moved to block the 2014 Distinguished Awards. Trustee Sammut seconded. Point of Information Trustee Ludlow: President Tsang:

Were the recommended changes listed handled? No, the recommendations have not been resolved. The board as a whole can remove the awards that need changes during discussion.

• Trustee Ludlow removed the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award from the block. 8 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes Trustee Sammut moved to approve the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award. Trustee Lacaba seconded. Trustee Sammut moved to amend the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award by removing the requirement so that lieutenant governors serving in their position for less than 6 months may apply. Trustee Lacaba seconded. • All the distinguished awards have the 6 month requirement so all awards would need to be amended. (Vice President Ahnert) • Accomplishments can be made in less than 6 months, but consistency over a longer period of time is important. (Vice President Ahnert) • An alternative would be to have a point section based on the time spent in the position. (Trustee Lacaba) • Recommended lowering the requirement from 6 months to 4 months. (Trustee Ludlow) • If a district board member is appointed to the position after 6 months, they are still able to apply for the

!

distinguished award of the position that they held prior to becoming lieutenant governor. (Vice President Ahnert) • Allowing them to apply didn’t mean that they would necessarily receive the award and that the above and beyond section is where the judges could determine the importance of how long someone served in the position. (Trustee Sammut) • Currently the award gives points based on the percentage of board meetings they the officer has attended while in office. This could give an unfair advantage to those that have fewer board meetings during their term. (Trustee Pevarnek) Point of Information Trustee Ludlow: President Tsang:

What specifically are we voting on? The current vote deals with changing the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award so that those that have served for less than 6 months may apply.

4 in affirmation, 4 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Ties President Tsang opposed 4 in affirmation, 5 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Fails Vice President Ahnert moved to amend the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award by changing the full points granted to those that have visited 100% of their clubs to 75% of their clubs. Trustee Ludlow seconded. • Issues of transportation, unresponsive clubs, and large number of clubs or division areas can cause a lieutenant governor to not visit all of their clubs. (Vice President Ahnert) • Visiting 100% of clubs is an unrealistic expectation. (Vice President Ahnert) • Partial scaling is already in place for this section. (Trustee Pevarnek)

$! !


• Losing 25 pts from this section would not disqualify an applicant from receiving the award with the entire section only worth 100 points. (Trustee Pevarnek) • Compared this expectation to the one in the Distinguished Governor Award that states that district governors are suppose to visit every division in their district. (Trustee Ludlow) 2 in affirmation, 5 opposed, 1 abstentions Motion Fails Point of Information Trustee Pevarnek: President Tsang:

Once this award is approved, would it be reblocked or immediately approved? It would be approved. If any other amendments are brought up that change all distinguished awards, it will be applied to the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award also.

Trustee Lacaba moved to approve the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award. Trustee Le seconded. No Discussion. 5 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 3 abstentions Motion Passes Trustee Ludlow moved amend all the awards to extend the service section to be out of 200 points instead of 100 points, making the ranking system 2 points per service hour. Trustee Le seconded. No Discussion. Point of Information Trustee Lacaba:

By doubling the points for the service section, would that increase the overall score or will it remain the same?

President Tsang referred to the maker of the motion.

Trustee Ludlow:

This would make every award is out of an additional 100 points and each award would need to be rescaled.

6 in affirmation, 1 opposed, 1 abstentions Motion Passes Trustee Sammut unexpectedly left the meeting at this time. V. Approval of Revisions to Standard Club Bylaws President Tsang explained that the Executive Committee revised the Standard Club Bylaws after a district governor submitted some suggested changes. He showed the house keeping changes that were made. Trustee Pevarnek moved to approve the changes to the Standard Club Bylaws recommended by the Executive Committee. Trustee Le seconded. • Overall meaning of things was not changed and that it was mostly grammatical changes. (Trustee Pevarnek) Vice President Ahnert moved to amend the following sections of the Standard Club Bylaws: Article 9, Section 1: During the school year the club shall hold regular weekly meetings at a place and time to be determined by the club officers the club officers and the club members shall determine one weekly meeting on such day and at such place as. It may hold such other meetings as the officers or the membership may desire. In the event that unusual conditions prevent a weekly meeting, this club may hold a minimum of two meetings per month, with the officers meeting on all other weeks. Trustee Pevarnek seconded. • This document is a template given to clubs when they charter and that they are able to adjust it. (Trustee Pevarnek) Point of Information Trustee Ludlow:

%! !

Is this something that needs to be voted on by the entire board or could it just be a


document released by the Executive Committee? President Tsang:

This is an option if the International Board is willing to allow the Executive Committee to do that.

• Recommendation to vote instead that the Executive Committee can make the changes and release it on their own. (Trustee Ludlow) 3 in affirmation, 1 opposed, 3 abstentions Motion Passes Trustee Ludlow moved that the 2013 – 2014 Executive Committee be given charge to the Standard Club Bylaws and that it not need to be brought to the International Board to go into affect. Trustee Le seconded. No Discussion. 5 in affirmation, 1 opposed, 1 abstentions Motion Passes VI. Recommendations for 2017 International Convention The Convention staff is looking at the cities of Austin, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, Seattle, Norfolk, and Milwaukee. The International Board was asked for any other suggestions that they had. This was not a voting matter. Suggestions provided were Boston, Atlanta, Aruba, Jamaica, and somewhere in Maine, Vermont, or Florida. This recommended list will be provided to staff and they will come back to the International Board once they narrow down the list. VII. Miscellaneous Each member of the International Board has submitted a report, which is included in the following sections of the Board Book.

Membership numbers are looking good and are on track based off of the totals from 2-years ago. He will be creating a document that will list the totals of each week compared to the weekly totals 2 years ago. This is because the totals from last year are not typical due to the Membership Update Center issues. Also it is important to note that 2 years ago all the SLPs had record years. There have not been many issues with the Membership Update Center this year but issues that are reported are fixed within 24 hours. The webinar format typically used is being revised because of the stigma that those that watch the recording aren’t getting the same experience as those that view it live. Prior to this board meeting, Trustee Le and Service Committee member, Byron Montilla, recorded a fun and exciting webinar on the Tomorrow Fund. The CKI Growth Summit is being held this coming weekend with 10 people coming in for the event. The focus of the event will be on 2-year institutions, non-traditional students, graduate students, and Key Club alumni. Though these 3 audiences will be the focus, the hope is to also come up with general recruitment ideas. Director Martz provided the following update on Specialist Demko’s behalf: Specialist Demko has been looking ahead by focusing on CKI’s spring events. The plan is to promote these events early to get more clubs involved, specifically with CKI Service Week and Share Your Love, Save a Life. She has been working closely with the Service and LSSP Committees in the process. Board Councilor Rochford provided the following update: Board Councilor Rochford commented that everyone has been doing a great job. He noted that President Tsang represented CKI well at the Kiwanis Retreat. He is currently working on charter a CKI club in Illinois-Eastern Iowa District. Also Councilor Rochford is helping with an eKiwanis club that is being chartered by former CKI members. He thanked

everyone for the engaging conversation this evening and also to Trustee Sammut and Trustee Le for keeping him informed. VIII. Adjournment The 2013 November Board Meeting was adjourned at 10:50 pm (EST).

Board Reports: International President With the fall semester almost over, I hope you are all balancing your academic studies with your Circle K responsibilities. The International Board has continued working hard since our last board book. We have been doing a lot to prepare Circle K members for the new academic year and the second half of the Circle K year. BOARD UPDATE October International Council Meeting The first International Council meeting since being elected was held on Tuesday, October 8th. At International Board Trainer in July, the International Board proposed clarifying the language used in the CKI Policy Code to define an interclub and Kiwanis Family Relations. In order for the amendments to the CKI Policy Code to go into effect, the International Council must approve of it by a majority. All recommendations were approved by the International Council. Third Board Meeting The International Board reconvened in late November for our third board meeting. Our major focus at this meeting was approving the distinguished awards for International Convention and voting on changes to the Standard club Bylaw form. PRESIDENT’S UPDATE Communication Since the last board book, I have continued to utilize various forms of communication to better reach the members of Circle K International. These communication styles include providing various updates through Facebook groups, daily communication with International Trustees, our CKI Counselor from the Kiwanis International Board (Jim Rochford), other members of both the Kiwanis and Key Club International Board, and staff members through emails and phone calls, a biweekly email to CKI Governors, and many more.

Board Reports: Subregion G Trustee Hi everyone, I have been busy at work helping my districts in any way possible. I have not been the best about opening lines of communication, but am working to improve for the rest of my term. Since my last report I have had some amazing opportunities and attended the fall events for two of the districts in my region. I am continually impressed with the dedication CKI members have for their local communities. I wish all of you the best of luck on final exams, a good holiday season and an excellent start to the new year! My Actions Since Last Report As an International Board Officer ! I read over and reviewed the distinguished awards packets. As a Subregion G Trustee ! 10/4 - 10/5 Attended the Carolinas Fall Call Conference. ! 10/19 I attended the Georgia District Fall Board Meeting. ! 11/15 - 11/17 Attended the Caribbean Fall Leadership Conference. As a Georgia District Member ! 10/18 - 10/19 Attended the Georgia Service Social Tour. ! 11/1 - 11/3 Attended the Georgia Fall Membership Retreat. As a Georgia Institute of Technology Club Member ! Helped my club gain access to the MUC and pay dues. ! Attended most club meetings and assisted the board of officers as needed. ! Participated in all ELIMINATE fundraisers. Updates on Subregion G ! Most districts are doing well, working on accessing the MUC and getting dues in. There have been some problems with officers being removed from the system, causing clubs to lose access but these problems are being resolved very quickly. Travel Reports Carolinas District | Fall Call Conference | ! It was great fun and included a TV themed weekend. Friday night included some group bonding activities where we got assigned to our teams and had to prepare skits to show why our assigned genre was better than the others. Being a member of the SY-FI team we of (%! !


course included references to the Matrix, Star Wars, DBZ and other shows. The evening concluded with roasting marshmallows and a crazy balloon popping game. Saturday Morning after a quick breakfast we had workshops where topics included things from CKI 101 to fundraising and services partners and everything in between. After lunch we all hopped in our cars and went to the Charlotte Food Bank where half of the group worked on sorting toys and other non food items into bins to be given to groups that need them, and the rest of us were giving 4 huge bins full of drinks that had been spilled on that needed to be wiped down and repackaged before they could be distributed. It was a great weekend and I am grateful that I was invited to spend it with the amazing members of the Carolinas District! Caribbean District | Fall Leadership Conference | ! After my flight from Atlanta to Montego Bay, I was picked up in a van with 21 other CKI’ers in it and knew that it was going to be an awesome weekend. Friday got started pretty slow but we had a great opening session and some curry chicken. Saturday morning began at 5:00 AM with a horn being blared around to wake us all up. It was a very grumpy awakening, but we went out before on the top of a hill side and watched the sunrise which was more than worth getting up so early. Saturday morning included breakfast and a general session where I got to teach the more than 90 CKI members present about ELIMINATE and March of Dimes. We then broke up into groups for individual officer training where I assisted with training club presidents. After the training, we broke up into teams and created team cheers and decided who would compete in each event for the afternoon sports and activities. I was a member of team Yellow and am happy to report that I won the two events that I participated in, one being a mathematics competition and the other being a soda drinking contest. All in all everyone had a great time and everyone put in a great effort to the individual events. Saturday evening included dinner and a water balloon fight. Everyone that participated was soaking wet afterwards and we had a campfire made up to help all of us dry off. Sunday morning we had a closing session and took Trick or Treat for UNICEF boxes around the local village to collect money for ELIMINATE. I don’t have a total for how much we raised but it was a very successful fundraiser and shows that the Caribbean has great support for the ELIMINATE project. All in all the weekend was !

Summary of Committee’s Actions The committee has been focusing on their upcoming directives. As of right now, many directives are completed or in progress. The Fellowship sub-committee has been creating a detailed schedule for each night. They have also created a Tourist/Fellowship Day that will provide “tourist” time so people can go out and see the city. They also have the option of staying inside and participating in fellowship activities. The Publicity sub-committee has created their first marketing package, which is a newsletter. However, it is not out because we do not know the final dates for LSSP. They have finished the LSSP Logo and it is awesome! They are now working on the next marketing package and t-shirt design. The Projects sub-committee has been calling projects around the Nashville area. We are working on getting projects that are possible walking distance from the hotel as well as projects that can take bigger groups. The Logistics sub-committee has been contacting businesses for donations. They will be contacting Kiwanis Clubs around the area about possible donations. The chair has been in contact with each sub-chair and secretary to make sure that they are up to speed on everything. These chats are to make sure that they are not feeling overwhelmed.

Create 4 Marketing packages for LSSP 2014, to be distributed to all members. Resources should be versioned for both club and district officers to display at meetings and correlate to district events.

Summary of Committee’s Actions The R&R&R Committee has been hard at work in the semester that we have been together. We partnered with the Membership & Marketing Committee for the Rock ‘n Recruit webinar at the beginning of October. It was a great opportunity for two committees to work together. We are also partnering with the International Growth Committee with reaching out to potential clubs in Pakistan and the Philippines in particular where committee members have contacts. The committee’s other major project right now is revising the CKI Marketing Guide and CKI Public Relations Guide. These two resources are no longer available through the CKI website. They are great tools for chartering clubs to know the tools to grow.

Summary of Committee’s Actions The 2013 – 2014 Circle K International Service Committee has been continually working on spreading awareness for CKI’s Preferred Charities and Service Partners and general service in clubs and districts all around the world. Since our last report in September, a second issue of “Service Worth A Glance” has been released and several new resources are to be soon released. Although we had a bit of a struggle with our Instagram account (@ckiservicecommittee) in the past, we hope to have at least one post before December. As we approach the holidays our upcoming goals will focus on the New Year’s awareness campaigns, CKI Service Week and Kiwanis One Day, and the CKI Service Fair. We hope that all of our hard work is helping your club and district achieve your service goals! Committee Directives 1.

(2/11) An interclub shall be defined as a meeting or event organized by a CKI club with at least one other CKI club in attendance, each having two or more members present. i.

!

71


!

iii.

Each CKI club with two or more members present that satisfies these requirements will have individually completed one interclub. (2/11)

Question 1:

Would divisional events be district events?

Answer:

A divisional event would count as an Interclub event, under this terminology. You would need to refer to your district bylaws to see what your specific district constitutes as a district event.

25 in affirmation, 1 opposed, 2 abstentions Amendment Adopted IV. Approval of Policy Code Amendment 2 Subsection K, iv. Interclubs b. A Kiwanis Family Relation (KFR) shall be defined as a meeting or event organized by at least one CKI club and at least one other level of the Kiwanis Family, including clubs-information, in which at least two members from each club attend.

Question 1:

Is this consistent with the policies of the other branches of the Kiwanis Family?

Answer:

No. Kiwanis has Interclubs, but not KFRs. The International Board didn’t look into this any further while discussion this change.

Question 2:

Are we not counting KFRs in terms of hours anymore?

Answer:

During GATC, Immediate Past President Lukito stated that we were switching over and is up to the discretion of the International President. President Tsang saw confusion and minimized it by asking for both.

29 in affirmation, 2 opposed, 0 abstentions Amendment Adopted V. Approval of Policy Code Amendment 3 Subsection K, iv. Interclubs c. If there are two or more CKI clubs present at a Kiwanis Family Relation event or meeting, with at least two members from each CKI club, it shall count as one interclub and one Kiwanis Family Relation. (2/11) A club may earn one interclub and one KFR at the same meeting or event so long as the requirements for each are met. Question 1:

What is the difference between an Interclub and a KFR?

Answer:

An Interclub is between two CKI clubs with two members present from each club. A KFR deals with K-Kids, Builder’s Club, Key Club, Aktion Club, or Kiwanis. If two CKI clubs and a club from another branch of the Kiwanis Family are present, then it would count as both a Interclub and KFR. !

73


!

Question 2:

Are the changes stating the same thing as what was already there?

Answer:

Due to the confusion at GATC, the International Board thought that this section of the Policy Code needed to be more structured and have clearer guidelines. The changes proposed are to clarify the blurred lines.

29 in affirmation, 2 opposed, 0 abstentions Amendment Adopted VI. Miscellaneous Members of the International Board provided International Council with a brief update on each of the Standing Committees, Ad-hoc Committees, and Task Forces. VII. General Reminders President Tsang reminded District Governors to submit their October MRF by October 15th and stressed the importance of quality over quantity. He also informed then at they need to submit their district bylaws, if amendments have been made. Any district bylaws amendments need to be approved by their Kiwanis District Board and then passes onto the International Board for approval. VIII. Adjournment The International Council Meeting was adjourned at 10:51 pm (EST).
