Kiwanis Leader
Over the past 90 years Kiwanis has been building and developing leaders all over
the world. We believe that with bold, courageous leadership, anything is possible.
With that thought in mind, we are thrilled to present www.kiwanisleader.org as a
new resource for leaders, both inside, and outside, of the Kiwanis family. We envision
a place where leaders can go to find out what is happening in the world of leadership,
especially as it relates to Kiwanis and our unique brand of leadership through service
to others. Included in this site will be resources for leaders at all levels, forums
for dialog with other leaders, suggested reading lists, leadership quotes, ideas
for leadership development at the district and club level, best practices in service
leadership and lots more. Since many of these resources are still be developed,
please be patient as together we build this site into something of great value to
all of our current and future leaders.
