Dear CKI Leaders,

I want to take a moment to thank you for everything you’ve contributed to CKI. As I reflect on the 2025-26 year, I am filled with immense gratitude and appreciation for everything we’ve accomplished together.

To start, I’d like to recognize all our club members, club leaders and district leaders. As students, you balance a variety of commitments, whether academic or professional, alongside your duties within CKI. Despite this, you have continued making contributions to local communities through service projects, fundraisers and so much more. It is on this foundation that our organization continues to thrive!

To our graduating seniors: congratulations! Please know that your work within CKI has impacted countless individuals. We will always be proud to consider you a part of the CKI family and look forward to welcoming you into our CKI Alumni Network. While your time in CKI may be coming to an end, please remember that Kiwanis is ready to be your next home to continue facilitating your journey in service.

Congratulations also to our newly installed club and district leaders! Your willingness to step up and forge a future for CKI is fundamental to our continued success as an organization. Don’t forget, the CKI Board remains a valuable resource and is ready to support your year in service!

Lastly, to the Kiwanians who have supported CKI throughout this past year: Thank you for mentoring the next generation of student leaders. Whether you’re a club advisor, Kiwanis advisor or a district administrator, your work is helping to inspire our brightest leaders! As I’ve reiterated at countless points, the relationship between CKI and Kiwanis is symbiotic and valuable. By investing in CKI leaders, you’re investing in the future of Kiwanis — one member, one club and one leader at a time.

I am proud to say that our work as a united organization has established a framework to allow CKI continued success, stability and sustainability. None of this would have been possible without your dedication. Thank you!

On behalf of the 2025-26 Circle K International Board, I wish you a wonderful end to the academic year. We look forward to welcoming many of you to the 2026 Circle K International Convention in Dallas, Texas, U.S. Thank you for being a part of our CKI family — and for your continued service, which is building a better future for all. Here’s to another year filled with service, leadership and fellowship!

Yours in Service and Leadership,

Jonathan Huang

2025-26 Circle K International President
