Kiwanis International Training for Incoming Club Leaders
These virtual sessions are intended to supplement district-led training for club officers. While this training can count for credit for officers who were not able to attend their district training, we strongly encourage all incoming officers to attend their district CLE training as well for district-specific information.
Do I have to attend the training? All incoming club level officers are required to attend CLE training. Virtual CLE training is offered as a supplement to any training you may have already received but may count for training credit if someone missed their district training.
How will I receive my CLE credits? After the virtual training is complete, we will ask you to complete a brief attendance survey. All attendees who complete the survey will receive credit for attending CLE training. We ask that districts continue to track attendance for all district-led CLE training in the education tracker.
Thank you for stepping up as a leader in your club! We look forward to welcoming you and your fellow members to these sessions. If you have questions in the meantime, contact [email protected] or your district office.
