Strategic planning for clubs (I-Plan). |
 For the club board of directors. Think of a
strategic plan as your club’s road map : You can choose the roads you
want to take, but the strategic plan ensures you reach your destination
- your goals. Every club should create their own strategic plan.
Our strategic plan is commonly called the I-Plan because the priority areas begin
with an "I" : inspiration, impact, image and investment.
Kiwanis International has created a "Club Planning Tool" to make your planning
easier. Read or download the Club Planning Tool here. |

Club and member achievement awards & criteria |
The old District Achievement Award trophy for clubs was discontinued after the
2007/2008 Kiwanis year.
A new Club Achievement Award in the NZ-SP district with simplified criteria was
started for the 2015/2016 Kiwanis year but there was no trophy and there was
little uptake. For the 2016/2017 Kiwanis year, a banner patch was awarded
for clubs that submitted their monthly report spreadsheets. This faded
away after a couple of years.
Kiwanis International used to recognize "Distinguished Clubs" and "Distinguished
Officers" that met certain criteria which changed from year to year but in the
April 2015 "Kiwanis Dateline" it was announced that these awards have been
indefinitely suspended. Starting with the 2016/2017 year, Kiwanis
International re-introduced a "recognition program for Kiwanis International
members, clubs and districts". This was somewhat laborious and was based
on the completion of the Kiwanis International on-line monthly reporting.
The criteria were not published on the Kiwanis International web site.
Starting in the 2023/2024 year the criteria for distinguished clubs, members,
divisions and districts were redefined. These were no longer based on the
club reporting system and the requirements were published on the Kiwanis
International web site.
For the 2024/2025 Kiwanis year the requirements to achieve distinguished club,
member, division and district are
published on the Kiwanis International web site here. |
