Secretary Update
As of May 1st, 2013 the Southwest District has completed over 700 service hours! That’ s amazing considering that it only includes two months of service completed by the clubs in the district. The University of New Mexico is currently leading in service hours with a total of 258 hours. Of course, that can all change on a month-to-month basis.
It’ s important to keep track of your club’ s service hours and have your secretary send in an accurate report each month for a few reasons. First, the international board likes to see how many service hours we complete as a district each month. It allows them to see how each district is performing relative to the others and how much service we actually do. Second, it allows us to stay connected as a district. Sharing with each other about the service we have completed and the upcoming projects we have is a great way to come together as a district. Last, keeping track of how many service hours we have completed allows us to achieve goals and commend ourselves for our hard work within the community. This year, the District Board hopes to complete 7,500 hours of service as a district. When your secretary sends in a monthly report of hours, it makes it easier to track our progress. It also makes it easier to celebrate the amazing amounts of service we complete as a district, which is really something to be proud of. So make sure to help your secretary with recording service hours each month and keep on serving, Southwest!

What is Leadership Academy?
CKI Leadership Academy is an investment in the members of CKI. The six-day event is intense and focuses on the E6 Framework created by Brendon Burchard, author of the Student Leadership Guide. Facilitators walk students through the steps to envision, enlist, embody, empower, evaluate, and encourage. Students learn that true leadership is based on servant leadership, which requires leaders to put the needs of others first, and to realize that no matter whether or not you have a title, there is always a need for service to one another and to the world. This program takes members of CKI through an adventure, starting with the CKI amazing race and ending with a plan in place to serve. The most unique part of the program— and what sets it apart from others— is that students and facilitators have an opportunity to do a service project during the program.
