It’s time to lead and serve! As we begin a new service year, we are seeking motivated CKI members to join our 2021-22 international committees.
Whether you are a new member or club or district leader, this is your opportunity to contribute to the direction of CKI. By serving at the international level, not only will you create bonds with fellow committee members from around the world, but you’ll learn more about CKI and yourself as a leader and teammate.
Members can apply below to be a committee chair or member.
This year, to create greater efficiency, we reorganized the committees and set clear goals for each. Please take a moment to review the committees and consider applying if you have the time and capacity to dedicate yourself to this role. Chair applicants who are not selected will be considered to serve as a member of that respective committee.
