Officer Training Manual Lieutenant Governor: Mian Ong / (310) 873 – 7830 / d19n.cnhkc.ltg@gmail.com

CALIFORNIA-NEVADA-HAWAII DISTRICT: DIVISION 19 NORTH Lt. Governor’s Message Congratulations on your election! As an officer on your club board, you are both serving and guiding your members. Subsequently, you are a leader on the Division Council. And as a leader, I can tell you that there will be moments of ease and even more moments of difficulty. I have compiled this manual with the intent of (hopefully) lessening your flashes of stress and discouragement.

During the instances where you still meet with obstacles, remember that you hold the position for a reason. First, I have no doubt that you have the full capacity to meet those demands and challenges.

Second, you are never on your own. I am also here to encourage, support, and assist you. Your members and fellow officers are there to back you up as well.

Lastly, I strongly encourage forming friendships with the rest of the Division Council—these are the people you will work with for the course of the year.

—Best of wishes, Mian Ong

DIVISION: A division is made up of various clubs in an area and headed by a lieutenant governor, a student leader elected from and by the clubs. The Lt. Governor carries out the district’s policies and provides support to the clubs.

FOCUS PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM (PTP)

PTP is the largest service focus of our Cali-Nev-Ha Foundation. The number one killer of children 14 and under in the US is unintentional injury. 90% of these injuries can be prevented! This service focus is to raise awareness and reduce the number of children who are killed or injured due to pediatric trauma.

CNH KEY CLUB / D19N Training

A region is composed of (generally) 2-7 divisions within an area. There is no student leader at the region level (there are one or more region advisors). In the CNH District, there are a total of 18 regions.

DISTRICT:

Multiple divisions make up a district. A district is normally defined by state or nation. The elected Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Technology Editor, District Officers, and the Lt. Governors make up the District Board.

INTERNATIONAL: Key Club International is comprised of all clubs from all the Districts. It is led by the International Board which has the elected international President, international Vice President, and 11 international Trustees.

PROJECT SHINE: bringing light into someone’s life Project Shine focuses on helping individuals with special needs—whether it is physically, mentally, or academically.

The project also aims to raise awareness in our communities about the different disabilities.
