Leadership
Leadership is one of the three main
tenets of Circle K International.
Participation in Circle K will help
members become more active
citizen leaders.
There are many opportunities to take
on leadership responsibilities at all
levels of the organization.
Lead as a Member
As a club member, you have several
leadership opportunities available to you!
• Chair a club project or event
•
• If you know of a certain service project or event
that your club doesn’t have, speak with your club
president about starting it up!
•
Club committees
• Many clubs have committees that focus on various
aspects of club operation such as socials,
fundraising, membership, and scrapbook.
• You could join a committee or you could chair a
committee! If your club doesn’t have committees,
speak with your club president and set one up!

Divisions
Clubs that are close in proximity are
grouped together to form a Division.
Each division is led by a Lt. Governor. This
individual is a member of a club within
the division. They mentor the club board
of officers for each club in their division.
Each division also has a President’s Council
Meeting each year led by their Lt.
Governor. Here, club presidents can
network with other clubs and gain insight
and ideas that they can take back to
their home club.
