Explanation of Agenda Old Business Approval of July Board Meeting Minutes New Business Approval of Interclub wording (Part C) Approval of Georgia District’s Bylaws Approval of Illinois-Eastern Iowa District’s Bylaws III. Approving the July Board Meeting Minutes Trustee Ludlow moved to approve July Board Meeting minutes as stated. Trustee Sammut seconded. No Discussion 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes #! !


IV. Approval of Interclub Wording (Part C) Trustee Ludlow looked at Part C of Subsection K, iv, Interclubs and realized that a potential change were needed to make it consistent with the approved changes made by the International Board from July. Prior to discussion, Trustee Ludlow presented the following wording: “A club may earn 1 interclub and 1 KFR at the same meeting so long as the requirements for each are met.” Vice President Ahnert stated that she liked that the new wording was clearer and simpler than before. Trustee Le also liked the change and recommended the “1” to be spelled about as “one” and “KFR” to be spelled out as “Kiwanis Family Relations.” She also suggested that it might be good to state that it is a “CKI club” to clarify it from other branches of the Kiwanis Family. Trustee Limjoco agreed with the changes proposed by Trustee Le and liked the overall change to the policy code. Trustee Pevarnek had no comment. Trustee Lacaba had no comment. Trustee Bour had no comment. Trustee Sammut had no further comment and thanked Trustee Ludlow for working on this amendment. Trustee Ludlow responded to Trustee Le’s suggestion to include “CKI club” instead of “club.” He stated that it was not needed because it was in the CKI Policy Code and already assumed. Trustee Kuang agreed with Trustee Ludlow’s most recent statement. Director Martz had no comment.

Trustee Le questioned whether the wording should state “meeting or event” to keep it consistent with the other sections of Subregion K, iv, Interclubs. Trustee Pevarnek stated that he considered a meeting an event and it was therefore not needed. Trustee Bour disagreed with Trustee Pevarnek and stated that events and meetings aren’t the same. Trustee Sammut also disagreed with Trustee Pevarnek and added that it would read “meeting and event,” instead of “meeting or event” as written. Trustee Lacaba agreed with both Trustee Bour and Trustee Sammut. Trustee Ludlow requested an explanation on why Trustee Sammut suggested that it be written as “meeting and event,” instead of “meeting or event.” Trustee Sammut took back her suggestion to change to “and” from “or” after rereading the entire change. Trustee Bour agreed that it should be “meeting or event.” Trustee Ludlow motioned to approve the following change to the Policy Code: 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. A club may earn one interclub and one KFR at the same meeting or event so long as the requirements for each are met. Trustee Lacaba seconded. No Discussion 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes

V. Approval of Georgia District’s Bylaws Trustee Ludlow explained that at the Georgia District’s 2013 District Convention the District’s bylaws were amended to change the membership fees from $9 to $12. This was after the Kiwanis District Board gave them the approval to raise dues to a maximum of $12. Trustee Le moved to approve the Georgia District Bylaw changes made at their 2013 District Convention. Trustee Sammut seconded. No Discussion 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes VI. Approval of Illinois-Eastern Iowa District’s Bylaws Trustee Pevarnek explained that at the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District’s 2013 District Convention the District voted to make several changed to its bylaws. These changes included transferring the responsibility of sending out board meeting notifications from the District Secretary to the District Governor, updating the Club Building Committee wording, adding a Membership Development Committee, changing the Technology Committee to Technology and Marketing Committee, and adding the submission of the DCON Report to the District Governor’s responsibilities. Trustee Pevarnek moved to approve the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District Bylaw changes made at their 2013 District Convention. Trustee Limjoco seconded. No Discussion 9 in affirmation, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions Motion Passes VII. International Board Updates Each member of the International Board has submitted a report, which is included in the following sections of the Board Book.

Kiwanis International Trustee Rochford also informed the board that he has been bragging about their amazing board meeting in July and the respect they have for one another.

Finally, he praised President Tsang for representing CKI well during the conference call earlier in the evening and that he looks forward to his monthly phone conferences with him. President Tsang explained that he met with members of the Kiwanis International Board, Immediate Past CKI President Lukito, and staff to discuss a report written by Immediate Past CKI President Lukito. He stated that he would provide a summary of the report to any of the International Board that was interested Director Martz shared a bit about his time at the Aktion Club Training and Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, IN.

Board Reports: International President With the school year well under way, I hope you are all balancing your academic studies with your Circle K responsibilities. The International Board has been working hard since our last board book. Since then, 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 Ad-Hoc Committee Selections At the International Board Trainer, the International Board agreed that the ad-hoc committees for the 2013-2014 year are Social Potential Innovative Club Enhancement (S.P.I.C.E), Recruitment, Retention, and Revitalization, and International Expansion. The task forces for the 2013-2014 year are Governing Documents and Awards. Upon review from the assigned board liaison for that specific ad-hoc committee and input from Vice President Amelia and I, we selected members to serve on the 2013-2014 ad-hoc committees and task force. Second Board Meeting The International Board reconvened in late September for our second board meeting. Our major focus at this meeting was continuing our discussion on the interclub and Kiwanis Family Relations terminology as explained in the policy code. With hopes of simplifying the language and ensuring that all districts report the same number, these policy code amendments passed and will be moved to the International Council as a whole to vote. 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), and

&'! !


staff members through emails and phone calls, a biweekly email to CKI Governors, and many more. TRAVEL REPORTS Illinois-Eastern Iowa | Kiwanis District Convention | August 8–11, 2013 (UNOFFICIAL TRAVEL ~ CKI DID NOT PAY FOR THIS VISIT) • Assisted Executive Director with any logistical problems such as with music, microphones, PowerPoints, and many more • Presented an update about Circle K International during a Saturday night session • Set-up and strike convention set logistics FUTURE PLANS October International Council Meeting 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. The next International Council Meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 8th. CONCLUSION As a whole, the International Board has continues to make significant strides in strengthening our organization. I hope you can see some of the hard work that all that the International Board members have been doing to benefit the members of Circle K International. As leaders, we hope to set an example of service, leadership and fellowship. Remember that as international officers, we answer to you, the members of Circle K International. I hope that you reach out to any of us, if you have any questions or concerns. With the help and support of members like you, I know our organization, as a whole will continue to stride towards the best. As we all continue the 2013-2014 year, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or criticisms. I am always fully available to every Circle K member and leader, no matter what time it is or what questions you may have. I’m here to make your life easier and to give you the tools you need to succeed!

Board Reports: Subregion A Trustee Hey everyone! As the end of September approaches I find it quite hard to believe that only a short time has passed since I was attending the International Board Trainer in Indianapolis this past July. September is my favorite time of the year because not only is it my birthday month, but it is also when Circle K clubs from around North America (and possibly the world!) are becoming active and recruiting once again. It makes me very intrigued to see the many different clubs fairs and events that Circle K is a part of – and it almost seems as though I am participating in all of those events as well! I look forward to hearing all about what everyone will accomplish this upcoming year and I hope that this September spirit remains strong throughout the year. As school becomes the main priority of many members it is important to understand that we are all students and may need to slow down at moments to catch up on other aspects of our lives.

Summary of Committee’s Actions For those who don’t know, the Executive Committee serves as a catch-all for all the other committees. That means, if it needs to be done and if no other committee is responsible for it, the Executive Committee is. This includes many different things, but ultimately relates to the administrative functions of the International Board. As a result, the executive committee is one of the most versatile committees, but can also suffer from the largest struggles.

We have also created an Instagram account (@ckiservicecommittee) and are working on an introductory video so that you can get to know us better.
