Governor’s Blog: Feedback, Midyear and Looking Ahead
February 19, 2024 – I’m grateful for the feedback I’ve received from my recent blog regarding the proposed dues increase by KI. While it’s understandable that nobody welcomes a dues increase, it’s important to recognize that costs are rising across the board. If you’re not in favor of the increase, I encourage you to seize the opportunity to attend the International Convention and make your voice heard by voting against it. Let’s work together to find solutions that benefit everyone involved!
Midyear – Sat Feb 24, 2024 9 am – 1 pm – Growing Membership for the Kids!
In just under a week, we’re eagerly anticipating the PA District Midyear Conference! Our Midyear Committee has meticulously crafted an exciting program featuring esteemed speakers such as our 2023-2024 Kiwanis International President Katrina Baranko, Counselling International Trustee, Cathy Tutty, Kiwanis International 2005-2006 Past President and motivational speaker Steve Siemens, and our distinguished keynote speaker Ben Hartranft, who will share his inspiring story and autism awareness.
With a variety of breakout sessions led by PA Kiwanians and distinguished guests, there will be ample opportunities for learning and networking. Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce the Pennsylvania winners of the Signature Project Contest at the conference. A heartfelt thank you to the Signature Project Committee for their dedication to judging this year’s entries.
