Governor ’ s Welcome

G O V E R N O R ' S W E L C O M E

Greetings People of Earth! I am honored to welcome you to the 59th Annual Wisconsin-Upper Michigan CKI District Convention. I am thrilled that whether virtual or in-person, we have a District of dedicated members, alumni, and Kiwanis Family members here to celebrate service and the brilliant leaders this year.

The WUM CKI District Board spent months planning an in-person convention this year. As we have seen recently, you never know what the world will have in store. We care about your health and safety. It was important to us that anyone interested in celebrating this year had the opportunity to do so without worries. The hugs, handshakes, and high fives will certainly be in our future.

You will hear and see me quite enough during this convention, but for those I have not been fortunate enough to meet this year, my name is Annika Hentz and I serve as the 2021-2022 WUM CKI District Governor. Incredibly, this is my 8th year in the Kiwanis Family and 8th District Convention since freshman year of high school. I will be graduating this Spring from UW-Madison with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, Investment, and Banking. I am happy to talk about life, Circle K, or anything else with you all.

I want to extend a huge congratulations to all of Club Officers, District Officers, and Administrators that braved a year of continuing uncertainty. You all had to adapt, overcome, and keep the CKI spirit alive. This is your time to reflect on the work you have done and celebrate yourself! This year has been ‘Out Of This World’ and you deserve a District Convention to match. Enjoy!!
