Hey Southwest!
My name is Olivia Kurschat and I am so lucky and blessed to call myself your 2017-2018 District Governor! Three years ago I would have never believed myself to be where I am today! But anything is possible through hard work and dedication! My journey with Key Club began when I was a young freshman that heard about the club meeting over the announcements. The club that originally drew me by pizza, has turned me into the servant leader I am today. I served as my club secretary, then served as appointed North Mountain Lieutenant Governor, and this last DCON I was elected Southwest District Governor! I attend Marcos de Niza High School in Tempe, Arizona! Home of the Padres! Besides Key Club, I’m involved in HOSA, Best Buddies, National Honor Society, and Padre U. Although I love being the average involved student, Key Club has always been my #1! With a calling to lead and a passion to serve this organization is truly my calling.
This year I hope to establish C.A.R.E.

Every minute, 62 children enter a Children's Miracle Network Hospital. All CMN Hospitals contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase up-to-date equipment, train staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs and provide health care for children whose parents can’t afford to pay.
March of Dimes
Every minute a baby is born too soon. Every day, 72 babies die due to preterm birth complications. All year long, YOU can make a difference for all babies. The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
