DISTRICT CONVENTION 2021

Ever wonder what is the best way to become more involved in Key Club. Ever wonder if you could take a field trip in order to learn more about service and leadership. If so, DCON is perfect for you.

WHAT IS DCON? DCON stands for District Convention. As you may know, Key Club is an international organization and, as a result, it is divided into many districts. Whitney Key Club belongs to the CNH or California-Nevada-Hawaii District. District Convention serves as a gathering for all members from throughout the three states to end the Key Club term and celebrate the achievements of each club and division as well as the District as a whole. DCON’s main purpose is also for all the clubs in the three states to elect their District Officers for the following term. DCON serves as a great opportunity to meet new people, learn about service events, become more involved in Key Club, and have fun. WHAT CAN I DO AT DCON? DCON has many activities that span the three-day event. Throughout the event, members can attend workshops where they can learn about the Key Club organization, leadership skills, Key Club leadership opportunities, and general life lessons for the future. In three days, one can truly learn about a huge variety of subjects. Furthermore, members can apply for awards and scholarships before DCON that they will be awarded at DCON. Awards are given out to general members, leaders, clubs, and divisions. Winners may even get to go on stage in front of the hundreds of attendees from the three states to receive their awards or scholarships from District Officers. Last, but certainly not least, attendees will have the opportunity to attend the Governors Ball, which is a big party on the last night of the convention where members can dance, play games, and have fun with their friends from around the district. Overall, DCON has many opportunities for Key Clubbers. OH MY GOD!!! DCON SOUNDS AMAZING! HOW DO I SIGN UP? DCON is currently scheduled for April 9-11 of 2021 at the Ontario Convention Center, which is only about an hour away from Cerritos. Although DCON is five months away, DCON does take a lot of planning, so sign-ups are quite early. More information will be coming soon about how to sign up and interest meetings will be held in the coming months, as well. Look out for sign-ups around December or January to ensure your spot at DCON, especially if you hope to win an award.

I highly encourage everyone to sign up for DCON. Going two years ago was the best decision I ever made and, if there is one thing I am sad I missed last year, it is DCON. If you have any questions about DCON, feel free to contact me. I hope to see everyone there and many people applying for awards!
