Results of 2009 Proposed Amendments to the CKI Bylaws

In case you all are wondering, here are the results of the 2009 Proposed Amendments to the CKI Bylaws. Please note that the ones that passed in the House of Delegates are subject to Kiwanis International Board approval before they officially become effective.

• Proposed Amendments #1 and #2: Passed as a block
• Proposed Amendment #1 would reduce the membership minimum requirements for existing CKI clubs to sustain club retention.

It would go from 20 members to 15 members for 4-year institutions and 15 to 10 for 2-year institutions or 4-year degree granting institutions with less than 1,000 students enrolled.

• Proposed Amendment #2 would reduce the membership minimum requirements for clubs in the chartering process.

It would go from 20 members to 15 members for 4-year institutions and 15 to 10 for 2-year institutions or 4-year degree granting institutions with less than 1,000 students enrolled.

• Proposed Amendment #3: Passed

This would allow students from local institution (s) to become members of a CKI club that's already chartered provided that the institutions affected and the bylaws of the CKI club provide permission.

• Proposed Amendment #8: Passed

This would allow districts to collect dues on a per member basis (the way it is now). This will continue for the upcoming dues cycle beginning on October 1, 2009 and the future dues cycle on October 1, 2010.

• Proposed Amendment #6: Passed

This would allow districts to collect member fees for total amount of members in a particular CKI club, even if it exceeds the International club fee. Please keep in mind that the International club fee doesn't come into effect until October 1, 2010.

• Proposed Amendment #5: Failed

This would have re-implemented the half-dues structure in the CKI Bylaws.

• Proposed Amendment #4: Failed

This would have added a section for the iBoard to review district policy codes.

• Proposed Amendment #7: Not brought to the floor because Proposed Amendment #8 passed

This would have allowed districts to collect club fees for every club.

Report on 2008-2009 CKI Sub-region A Goals

Greetings everyone! I hope you are looking forward to the weekend. I know this might be the last school-free weekend for some while it might still be summer vacation for others. Therefore, I hope you look at what we have done as a Sub-region since last August in terms of our goals. While we fell short on meeting three goals, I still proud of what we have achieved. I know when the 2009-2010 Sub-region A Goals come out, you will accomplish each one. All of you have the passion to serve those in your respective communities, your clubs/districts, and beyond.
