The club president and secretary participate in the Club Leadership Education (CLE) training session prior to assuming office. The Kiwanis club has a net membership gain by the end of the administrative year and maintains current membership.
The Kiwanis club that accumulates at least 100 points and has properly submitted its Annual Club Report will earn distinguished recognition. The club will receive a Distinguished Club banner patch and a distinguished lapel pin for the president and secretary.

“We are pleased to be recognized for the Central Adirondack Kiwanis programs that support the children of our Community. Without the support of the entire community the Kiwanis programs would not be possible,” said Micheal Griffin, current president.
