WINNING THE SUPERBOWL OF YOUR LIFE by Channel 7's John Gross
The Committee reviewed a letter from Past President Tully (Exhibit A) regarding how the Board presents its views on controversial issues. The Committee respectfully recommends that the Board consider a policy or procedure regarding the publication of dissenting views of questions submitted to the Board. The Committee unanimously reaffirms its support for a single three-year term for Trustees and offers support for any constitutional amendment necessary to implement such a change. The committee discussed the announced plan to discontinue the 800 phone number due to financial constraints.
The Committee respectfully recommends that the Board continue the tradition of a former President addressing the Board at the luncheon honoring past Presidents. The Commission respectfully recommends that the Council reinstate the tradition of holding a Council dinner on Friday evenings and abolish the individual dinners organized by the members of the International Council. The Committee respectfully recommends that the Council consider having members of the Board of Trustees chair all Council workshops at any time.
I can think of at least two reasons in favor of openness rather than a one-sided presentation of the Council's positions. I therefore propose a reevaluation of the Board of Directors' handling of matters of general interest to Kiwanis.

It must be a position that is coveted and must be won by Kiwanians who have had the exciting experience of a year as club president and now WANT to advance further in the organization. Unfortunately, too often in our district, the position of lieutenant governor is almost a "joe job", and as long as that situation persists, we have a critical weakness in the entire Kiwanis education process. I want you all to give some thought to the education that Kiwanis currently offers its club members, the club.
I would love to have your ideas available ahead of our October Board of Directors meeting. Your August 9 letter to the International Commission on Education and Leadership Development requests their response. Chairman” in the PNW District Office, which we used for several years in our officer training.
It also seems to me that the club presidents should have training in administration or organizational management, in the importance of appropriate dress and in the meeting mechanics necessary to have a successful club. I would like to send to the Board for consideration the call for a club retreat one weekend in August, where there will be (1) Kiwanis education for club members; 2. Special education for board members. 3) Special education for officers; and (4) special sessions for those who wish to become leaders in Kiwanis.

4- Recommendation #3
Section 6. Delete existing Section 6
The International Board is concerned about the long-term stability of the districts of Circle K International. Districts have learned over the years that a board of representatives system does not work as efficiently as either a traditional lieutenant governor system or a combination club representative/lieutenant governor system. Therefore, the International Council proposes to eliminate the formation of the council of representatives system.
The job description of a club representative has never been defined and has created conflict between clubs and districts in the past, building a new club in a district has become more difficult and divisional unity is limited. Districts still using a representative club system (without lieutenant governors) will be required to establish a new district board structure at their next district convention. In the event that the representative council system is used, there will be only one (1) representative from each club.
A traditional system of lieutenant governors or a combination of club representatives and lieutenant governors should be used.
