Past Key Club International leadership experience
Before serving as international trustee, I served as grade level director, club president, district new club building chair and member representative on the International Membership Development and Growth Committee.
Why did you decide to run for the international board?
Throughout my Key Club journey, I have gone through application after application and election after election. And one thing I have realized is that you win some, but you also lose some. Before running for international trustee, I ran for district governor, and I lost… embarrassing, right? But reflecting on my journey — on my experience as club president, new club building chair and international representative, my experience serving at all levels of Key Club — I realized that I have the knowledge to represent every member’s voice at every level of this organization. And now, I have the honor to serve 223,789 dedicated servant leaders. So, if you are thinking about running for international trustee, go for it!
What are you most looking forward to this year?
I am most looking forward to helping my district pairing grow to new heights and attending district conventions to connect with Key Clubbers across the world.
What do you like most about Key Club International?
What I love about Key Club International is all the opportunities to grow as a leader. Key Club gave me the opportunity to make lifelong friendships and develop qualities that I would not have otherwise been able to.
What is your favorite Key Club memory and why?
Every year, my home club hosts its annual “Servathon,” where Key Clubbers from across my division complete six service projects in three hours. This event was SO much fun, and I was able to connect with my division and form stronger relations with my fellow Key Clubbers.
Why did you join Key Club?
I initially joined Key Club because all the role models in my life were in Key Club. But as I went through my Key Club journey, I realized that this organization is more than just community service. Key Club is serving communities across the world and connecting with like-minded servant leaders.
