My Kiwanis journey began when I was 14 years old. Growing up in a small town, there were basically two ways to spend your time—you could get involved, or you could find trouble. Fortunately, a family friend told me I was joining Key Club. It wasn’t really presented as a choice, and I’m glad it wasn’t. That decision changed my life.
Key Club gave me opportunities to lead, serve, build confidence, and discover what I was capable of. From there, I joined CKI at Montana State University and eventually became a Kiwanian. For me, becoming a Kiwanian was a way to give back—to help provide the next generation with the same opportunities that others provided for me.
That is why I am so proud to serve our Rocky Mountain District and our entire Kiwanis Family. From K-Kids and Builders Club to Key Club, Circle K, Aktion Club, and Kiwanis, we have an incredible opportunity to serve together and develop the next generation of leaders.
This year, I’m asking our Kiwanis Family to focus on two things: service and strengthening our clubs.
Our district-wide service initiative, Beautifying the Rocky Mountain District, is an opportunity to bring our entire Kiwanis Family together. It might mean cleaning up a school, planting trees, improving a park, refreshing a community space, or taking on a larger project. The size of the project isn’t important. What matters is that we are serving our communities—and hopefully doing it together.
I encourage our Kiwanis clubs to partner with their Service Leadership Programs and other clubs in their communities. Imagine K-Kids working alongside Kiwanians, Aktion Club members joining a community cleanup, or Kiwanis, Key Club, and Circle K coming together to improve a local park. Those experiences strengthen our communities, but they also strengthen the relationships within our Kiwanis Family.
As a sports fan, I also believe in getting back to the fundamentals. Great teams develop their people, strengthen relationships, support one another, and continually look for ways to improve. We can do the same.
That means supporting our clubs through club coaches and other district resources. It means growing our membership and investing in our Service Leadership Programs. And most importantly, it means staying focused on the reason Kiwanis exists: serving children and strengthening our communities.
My hope for this year is simple: serve more, strengthen our clubs, support our young leaders, and have some fun along the way.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Governor, but I am even more excited about the opportunity to serve with you.
