Flying with purpose
Keep members motivated with personal connections
By Amanda Marfisi, 2010–11 Circle K International president
N
estling into my coach-class airplane seat, I reached for my
headphones, reclined and stretched
out for my two-hour plane ride. My
routine was interrupted by the flight
attendants’ presentation about buckling your seatbelts, noting the exits
and all the other probably-won’thappen safety measures. But this
time it was different:
“Fellow passengers, welcome aboard
our uncomfortable, leg-crunching,
stuffy aircraft. For those of you who
have never flown before, or haven’t
ridden in a car for the past 40 years, this
is how you buckle your seatbelt.
The exits are located throughout the
aircraft, and those of you who were
selfish enough to want more legroom—
secretly hoping everyone would think
you’re noble—will be operating them.
In case of heightened air pressure, oxygen masks will employ.
After
you’re done
screaming like a little
girl, please place
the oxygen masks
over your mouth
and nose and
breathe. Please
note that all
aircrafts have a
strict no-smoking
policy. If you wish
to disobey this policy,
2 CKI Magazine april 2011
we’ll just ask you to step outside to
finish your last cigarette. Thank you,
and enjoy your flight.”
Contrary to the sardonic tone, everyone on the flight was laughing by
the end. And it was the first time in a
long time that I listened to the flightsafety demonstration.
This made me think about motivating CKI members—not just in the first
couple meetings, but throughout the
year. To keep members motivated, we
must continuously fly with a purpose:
fellowship.
Throughout the year, we do service and learn leadership skills. Both
are embedded in a foundation of fellowship. What keeps people around
is, quite simply other people. Club
officers, I encourage you to look outside the box and think about ways to
engage people, not just run an organization. Make the member the most
important part of the club by engaging in socials, buddy systems or new
form of recognition. Members, I encourage you to get to know people
throughout the organization. Don’t
stop hanging out when the bell rings
and the meeting is over.
I know you can choose any organization you wish. I thank you for
choosing CKI and for traveling on
this journey with us. I hope you’ll be
inspired to make the most of it.
WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY’S LIFE?
With The Eliminate Project, you can. Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one
baby every nine minutes. But three doses of a 60-cent vaccine can protect mothers
and babies. Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces to bring this vaccine to 38
countries, eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. What can you do now? Grow
your club, because you’ll need strength to take on the challenges of the campaign.
Learn about MNT, and advocate for the cause. Over the next few years, the work
you do to will change the world. Find resources at www.TheEliminateProject.org.
Figures are accurate as of March 2011 and are subject to change.
Leadership lessons
Those who’ve been there share what it takes to make
it fun and successful
By Nicole Keller
A
manda Marfisi is doing well now
as Circle K International’s 2010–
11 president—but that’s because she
learned some things about leadership
on her way there. Voted president of
her Elizabethtown College (Pennsylvania) club twice, Marfisi admits to
being “a title seeker” at first.
President
“As a sophomore, I thought it was
so cool to be club president,” Marfisi
says. “But I had joined about 15 other
organizations, and I wasn’t showing
up to a lot of things. I’d lost sight of
what the organization was about.”
Fellowship improved once Marfisi,
focused on being present at service
projects and serving as a facilitator.
“You need to be involved in the orga4 CKI Magazine april 2011
nization in every respect. Leadership
takes a good deal of modesty, not
flashing around your title. If you act
so unreachable, no one thinks they
can do that job in the future.”
And a leader’s job is to create other
leaders, says UCLA club editor Brad
Tomita. “Leadership is temporary,”
he says. “Leaders should always be
trying to train those around them to
be leaders themselves—to go off and
help others in turn.”
Considering leadership yourself?
Check out the official duties and tips
for success:
The president is CEO, not a superhero. They’re responsible for
all club activities, but can’t do all
the work. They make sure the work
gets done by training, monitoring
and motivating officers, committee
chairmen and members.
Lance Demonteiro, University of
Texas at Austin past club president,
says it comes down to vision. “My
most important responsibility was
inspiring other members, giving the
club a common goal and motivating them in more of a high-level approach,” Demonteiro says.
Demonteiro knew he’d need to
build fellowship to succeed. He took
all new members to lunch and helped
them find their places in CKI.
“Leaders have to facilitate friendships,” he says. “If someone joins and
doesn’t make friends, they’re not going to come back. It was important to
really be everyone’s friend, not just
the president.”
What does it take to be a
great leader?
The club grew from 35 to 68 members, winning multiple awards. “I
care about the club a lot,” he says.
“So I put 110 percent into everything
we did.”
also be an idea generator by taking
the data and figuring out whether
we need more hours in a certain
area, or had a good turnout so that
an event should be repeated.”
Vice president
The vice president must stay as upto-date on club activities as the president does, because he or she may
need to step in at any time. Their duties are the least defined but committees are their domain.
Justin Turner, UT Austin club vice
president, says the best vice presidents need administrative skills and
a selfless heart. “They do a lot behind
the scenes—just as much work as
the other officers—but they get the
least amount of credit since there’s
not really a deliverable that has your
stamp,” Turner says. “They’re the
glue that holds the pieces together.”
Creating a solid committee structure can be crucial for fellowship,
especially in big clubs. “Committees
break the club down into smaller
units of people, making things more
personal,” Turner says. “The vice
president has to get to know members and find out where their talents
lie so they can best serve the club.”
Treasurer
The treasurer develops the club’s
budget then maintains it. The budget regulates everything a club does
throughout the year.
When Patra Kositchaiwat was club
treasurer last year for Oklahoma
City University, she found the bottom line directly affected fellowship.
“There are so many club projects
and events that members would like
to attend, and we had to figure out
how far the budget would go in the
beginning of the year,” Kositchaiwat
says. “I like to help everyone, and
sometimes it’s hard to tell people
‘no.’”
Now Texas-Oklahoma District secretary-treasurer, Kositchaiwat says
she didn’t really need a business or
an accounting background. “It’s not
to do as long as you’re organized, on
top of things and have fun with it,”
Kositchaiwat says.
Secretary
In CKI as well as in life, it’s not just
what you do but what you document that counts, so a good secretary is vital for club credibility and
vitality.
Secretaries keep track of everything a club does. There’s a domino
effect if not. “If I don’t have accurate
records at the end of the year, everything falls out of place,” says Jennifer Federer, club secretary for Ohio
Wesleyan University. “The governor
and lieutenant governor can’t fill out
their reports without proper secretary records. I’m a resource and a
communication system between the
club and the overall district. I can
Editor
The editor creates and distributes
a monthly newsletter to inform and
motivate club members.
Taylor Dickerson, club editor for
The College of New Jersey, added
author photos and new features to
boost involvement. “By including a
new Member-of-the-Month, along
with encouraging members to write
articles, my goal was to make them
feel like the newsletter was theirs, to
feel more special,” Dickerson says.
But her role isn’t limited to the newsletter; she likes being part of the executive board. “When you build
relationships with other leaders in
the club, you get more done, you’re
more efficient, and it’s a better experience for everyone.”
Who better to ask about leadership than
those who make their living inspiring emerging leaders? We consulted these experts on
“What does it take to be a great leader?”
“A great leader is also a great student. You’ve
got to ask questions, keep an open mind
and constantly challenge assumptions. That
means learning as well as unlearning. What
worked yesterday may not work anymore.
The best leaders have an insatiable thirst for
new information that keeps them responsive to present day needs.”
Scott Greenberg

Loose Their Hang-ups &
Soar to Success
“Great leadership emerges when
life doesn’t play out as we had hoped or
planned. Transformational leaders choose
to greet the obstacles, delays and cancellations with optimism, positivity and a spirit of
service. The most compelling leaders I know
care for people, share gratitude and inspire
others to contribute their gifts to the world.”
Jason Barger

“To me, there are two
types of litres/leaders. First,
a litre, is a unit of measurement, usually used
with liquids. The other, leader, is probably
more appropriate. Being a great leader means
leading from the end of the line. It seems we
have it in our heads that leadership is always
being ‘in front,’ when in reality, it is being at
the end...making sure that each individual is
heard and accounted for. True leaders lead
with the spirit of OHANA...the Hawaiian word
for family...making sure that nobody gets left
behind or forgotten.”

Don’t jeer the volunteer
How to get the best from your helpers
By Christopher Martz
W
hen was the last time you
turned down a volunteer in
your club or district? Probably not
recently, since CKI needs more talented volunteers. In general, people
want to volunteer, but organizations
across the board make the process
too complicated. Applications, interviews and other processes are often
unnecessary hurdles that waste a lot
of time trying to justify why a person
is the right fit for a position. But these
processes can end up turning off your
most qualified candidates.
Here are some helpful guidelines to
assist vice presidents with their committee structures or committee chairmen with their volunteers:
Don’t fire volunteers. Don’t belittle a volunteer by telling him he
6 CKI Magazine april 2011
hasn’t met your expectations or that
he should rethink his motives for being part of a committee. You can’t fire
a volunteer. Well, you can; but that’s
just a nightmare waiting to happen.
Instead, find out what drove the person to apply or sign-up for the committee. Often committee tasks become
overwhelming because members have
academic lives, social lives and other
factors that get in the way of getting
everything done. A good committee chairman recognizes when his or
her volunteers are overwhelmed and
finds a way to assist. Perhaps that simply means reallocating tasks to members of the committee who may be in a
downtime state at the moment.
Volunteers aren’t employees. So
many times we treat our volunteers
as if they are employees of a corporation. You don’t need to do a performance review on your committee
members. It’s not about the volunteer. It’s about advancing the organization. Instead, review the products,
outcomes or initiatives the committee was assigned. Focus on the mission and not the manpower.
Keep tasks specific and simple.
Speaking of assignments, attempt to
give committee members individual
tasks that can be completed in five
hours or less. Your best club volunteers
are more than likely another organization’s best volunteer as well. Good volunteers do not just help a single cause.
Look outside the box to get outside the box. If you want this year’s
committee to do something different
You can’t fire a volunteer.
Well, you can; but that’s just a
nightmare waiting to happen.
from past years, make sure you assign a few “change agents” to that
committee—those people (maybe
even new members) who have a
fresh perspective on the tasks that
lie ahead. In the world of collegiate
organizations, if it’s been done the
same way for the past two years, it’s
tradition because no one remembers
it being done any differently.
Plan for the long run. Don’t expect a single committee to change
your club in a semester or a year.
Change in any organization happens slowly. Don’t put a burden on
a single committee. Perhaps they
need to develop a strategic two- or
three-year approach to making the
dream come true, and then lay the
foundation the initial year.
Go outside the club. What
if you’re low on volunteers for
committees? Have you ever
thought about non-member volunteers? Why does the T-shirt or
newsletter committee need all
members? Think about asking
an outstanding artist to become
a member of the T-shirt or newsletter committee and maybe after
he or she sees the great things
CKI does, he or she will join your
club. There are many opportunities to utilize non-members in
your committee structure.
In general, CKI relies heavily on
volunteers, but does a poor job
managing them. Take a moment to
rethink what your club or district’s
committee structure and volunteer
assignments look like. One-third of
nonprofit volunteers give up after
a year. Don’t let your volunteers
fall victim to this statistic.
What does it take to be a
great leader? continued
“To be a good leader, you need three things:
to be selfless, to be a teacher and to be a
member of a community. If you’re an active
member of a community, it’s easier to initiate change in this world, to draw strength
from that community even as you’re fighting the battle of poverty, of HIV/AIDS, fighting for clean water. Even in Third World
countries, they have pretty much nothing
but they still celebrate the things that matter in life: friendship, laughter, a good meal,
a handshake. I see kids still be selfless, still
be teachers, still making themselves a part
of a community as leaders. Like my father
says, whether you’re a billionaire or have
zero dollars, you need to make happiness
real for others and a good leader has the
ability to enable that.”

“Thanks to Key Club and Circle K,
I learned a great deal about leadership starting at age 15. Leadership is
exemplified through the following five
leadership tenets: Integrity, excellence,
respect, balance and people-centered.
The last is another term for fellowship.:
this is about being people-centered and
investing in the lives of others, whether
first-hand or indirectly. To help our fellow man/woman is our responsibility and
a privilege. Anyone actively involved in
Kiwanis-sponsored youth programs will
learn leadership and, in turn, teach others by example.”

Treat yourself to a retreat
It’s a great way to have fun, with leadership thrown in
By Dick Isenhour
R
ecently, Circle K International
members at the University of
Michigan gathered for fun and games.
It was all part of the club’s annual
LeadCon, a one-day event designed
to help members develop leadership
skills in a fun way. The event is similar to those staged by other CKI clubs
and districts, all geared toward bolstering the organization by making
its members stronger.
“LeadCon focuses on the leadership tenet of Circle K,” says Rosaline
Toi, vice president of the Michigan
club. “LeadCon also connects with
another of our club values—servant
leadership. It provides our members
all of the resources they need to effectively lead in the community by serving in the community.” 8 CKI Magazine april 2011
A typical LeadCon begins with an
icebreaker followed by team-building activities, group competitions
and games.
As in previous years, about 40
members of the club attended this
year’s LeadCon. “We limit the event
to just our club members so that they
reap the benefits of being a member
of CKI club at University of Michigan,” Toi says, adding that there has
been talk of opening it up to other
CKI clubs. There are plenty of benefits to the
daylong event.
“I have personally benefited from
LeadCon by learning how to work
with others in all types of situations,”
Toi says. “The greatest lesson I’ve
learned, though, is that every person
is different and works a different way.
As a leader, I must recognize that each
person brings something different to
the table and a good leader is able to
blend those differences in a way that
helps the group meets its goals.”
Other Circle K members echo her
sentiments.
“The purpose of leadership retreats
is to train the up and coming leaders within the organization,” notes
Jarrod Echols, member of the Circle
K club at the University of Southern
Illinois-Carbondale and international
representative to Subregion C. “These
retreats provide an excellent resource
of knowledge in the form of current
leaders and leadership materials for
the soon-to-be leaders to use.”
Echols believes the leadership re-
treat provides easy access to information current leaders and willing
to share and helps future leaders develop their leadership potential.
“I personally have gained public
speaking, delegation, facilitation
and coordination skills from such
retreats,” Echols explains. “Without
these skills, I wouldn’t be able to be
the effective and confident leader I
am today.”
Similar benefits are found in district
leadership events. Most CKI districts
host a Leadership Training Conference in October or November.
District retreats, according to Becky
Wilson of the Purdue University Circle K club (Indiana) help members
develop and grow into society’s leaders. They also provide opportunities
to learn why members serve, and to
network with others that have the
same goal of serving commnities. She
believes effective leadership retreat
have similar elements: inclusiveness,
enthusiasm and determination.
“You want to make sure everyone
is being included in the team-building activities,” she explains. “You
also want to make sure everyone is
focused on becoming a better leader
by working hard but without knowing they are doing so because they
are having a great time.”
Leadership retreats help participants explore their individual talents,
find their calling with servant leadership and connect with like-minded
individuals who want to change the
world, says Kristen Reed, 2008–09
Circle K International president and
member of the New York City Young
Professionals Kiwanis club.
“The best part of leadership retreats is that each individual participant leaves the conference with
their own memories and lessons to
apply to their life, she says. “The
benefits are immeasurable because
it’s hard to put a value on making
friends, growing as a person and
exploring new ways to give back to
your community.”
Add some flavor
Make the most of your leadership retreat
L
eadership events/retreats/workshops are important at any age and
at all levels of leadership,” notes Steve Siemens, motivational speaker and former Kiwanis International president. “An excellent leader can
always learn something to improve his or her leadership abilities. I consider participating in an excellent leadership retreat a smart investment.”
Siemens, founder of Siemens People Builders, believes there are
many things that make a leadership retreat excellent. Try incorporating one or more of these tips into your next retreat:
• Take it offsite, with no access to
electronic interruption.
• Make it intense. Save the rest
and relaxation for afterwards.
• Create a bio on each attendee in
advance.
• Never ask people to go around
a circle and say their name or
what they do. The problem?
People spend the whole time
trying to think of what to say,
not listening to others.
• Instead, a week ahead of time,
give each person an assignment
for a presentation. It might be
the answer to a question such
as, “What are you working on?”
or “What can you teach us?”
Each person gets 300 seconds,
that’s it.
• Have 11 people present their
five minutes in an hour. Never
do more than an hour in a row.
• Organize roundtable conversations, with no more than 20
people. Launch a firestarter,
a five-minute statement, then
have at it.
call on people, cut people off,
connect people and provoke
them in a positive way.
• Invite a poker instructor or a
horseshoe expert to give lessons
and then host a competition.
• Serve delicious food, weird
food, vegan food, funky food.
• Use nametags at all times.
Write the person’s first name
REALLY big.
• Use placecards at each meal, rotating where people sit.
• Do something really interesting
after 10 p.m.
• Don’t worry about being productive. Worry about being
busy.
• Consider a tug of war or checkers tournament.
• Create an online site so attendees can check in after the event,
swap e-mail addresses or post
promised links.
• Take pictures. Post them as the
event progresses.
• Solve problems. Get into small
groups and have the groups
build something, analyze something, create something totally
irrelevant to what the organization does.
• Do skits.
• Have a moderator who is brave
enough and smart enough to

Succession plan
Take future leaders under your wing
By Dick Isenhour
B
ritain’s Prince William and
Kate Middleton spent a recent
Thursday morning pouring champagne. The bubbles were intended
to christen a new vessel in the royal
fleet in Anglesey, North Wales. But
the occasion also marked the first
act of royal duty of the prince and
probable duchess-to-be.
Though the event may not have
seemed significant, it demonstrates
the sort of measures being taken
to ensure an eventual smooth succession of the couple to the throne
of the British monarchy—the sort
of planning that is not lost on CKI
clubs and districts.
“Succession planning helps make
sure a club has a smooth transition
and that officers have an opportu-
12 CKI Magazine april 2011
nity to hand over their documents,
history and tips for their jobs to
their successors,” says Kristen
Reed, former Circle K International
president and current member of
the New York Young Professionals
Kiwanis club. “Succession planning
is important to ensure that a club’s
history, traditions and most effective recruitment tactics and membership-retainment strategies are
not lost when officers graduate.”
One important key to succession
planning, most CKI leaders agree, is
to begin the transition early.
“Our club allows for a very long
transition process between the old
board and new board,” says Rosaline Toi, vice president of the Michigan University Circle K club. “This
year, we held elections a week or
two earlier for the purposes of transitioning, because seniors make up
the majority of our current board
and will be gone next year. So now
we have almost two months, which
will give each board member a
chance to meet one-on-one with
their successors, and for the outgoing and incoming board to meet
weekly so the new board can learn
how everything functions.”
One measure that has proven
successful for the club is the use of
transition packets (about 30 pages
each) that are passed down from
year to year. New board members
can refer to information included
in the packets and find answers to
many of their questions.
“We also allow the new board to
plan its own events and make its
own decisions,” Toi adds. “There’s
an advantage to having the current
board members around to use as resources by the incoming board.”
Krystal Weaver, international
representative to Subregion G,
agrees. “Being in many leadership
roles, I’ve found there is no better
way to succeed than to look back to
the person who has done it before
you to seek his or her advice and
counsel,” she says. “We devised a
president-trainee system for a community college. If members think
they might want to be president,
they can ‘shadow’ the current president, who can also delegate work
to help them get them ready for
their presidency.”
Handing over the reins of leadership can be a tricky time for
CKI clubs, cautions CKI President Amanda Marfisi. Her advice:
Start early.
“The most important thing I tell
people is to start finding your replacement the day after you are
installed,” she explains.”You want
your successor to be more successful than you so that you know
you’ve done a great job.”
