[edit] Responsibility and Roles of California-Nevada-Hawaii District Board
[edit] Lieutenant Governor
A Lieutenant Governor represents each of the sixty divisions in the Cali-Nev-Ha District. The Lieutenant Governor serves as a liaison between the clubs in their division and the District Key Club Board. The Lieutenant Governor is required to attend three district board meetings, the District Convention, the Fall Rally, and the Regional Training Conference in their region.
They must publish at least ten newsletters for their clubs, file monthly and board reports, hold Officers Training Conferences until all officers are trained, publish a divisional roster, and serve on state committees as needed. They must also stay in constant contact with their clubs, the executive board, and the Kiwanis Board. The Lieutenant Governor is expected to organize divisional service projects, hold Divisional Council Meetings, and visit each club in their division. The duties are many and the time commitment is large, but the amazing leadership experience obtained is even greater.
[edit] District Member Recognition Committee Chair
The Member Recognition Committee Chair chairs a committee of Lieutenant Governors responsible for all awards, contests, and scholarships offered/hosted by the CNH District. The officeholder is chosen by the District Governor.
[edit] District Convention Committee Chair
The Convention Committee chairs a committee of Lieutenant Governors responsible for the planning and hosting of the annual District Convention. This includes arranging a convention center, meals, hotel accommodations, programs, special guests, and more.
[edit] Cali-Nev-Ha District District Rap
From the east to the west, you know we are the best! We're the District with the sting, And that's why we sing; We're the bees, buzz, buzz! We're the bees, buzz, buzz! It's all about the party-hardy CNH Bees!
[edit] Fall Rallies for Cali-Nev-Ha District
Due to the District's massive size, two Fall Rallies are held each year; one in Northern California at Discovery Kingdom, one in Southern California at Six Flags. Thousands of members gather at each of the two theme parks on their selected day, one in October, one in November. At Fall Rally North, LTGs and Executive officers are "auctioned" off to Divisions; the winning Division is able to then spend a designated period of time with the "purchased" officer. In the South, funds are collected through a pillowcase drive, in which Divisions compete to fill pillowcases with money. Funds and ticket sales for both events go towards Pediatric Trauma Prevention and Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
[edit] CNH District Convention
The CNH District Convention (or known as "DCON" for short) is held each year in April. Over 3,000 Key Club members, advisors, Kiwanis members, and guests annually attend. Due to the large crowd size, a Convention Center is normally required to host all members for general sessions. Activities consist of: rounds of workshops facilitated by Lieutenant Governors and adults alike, an awards ceremony, the Governor's Ball, and a keynote speaker. Caucuses are also held to elect the new District Officers for the upcoming service year. The upcoming DCON is scheduled to be in Anaheim, CA.
