Committees
Our Club's Committees are committed to helping us fulfill our mission. Their work extends deeply into our communities and membership, ensuring we are always doing the best work we can to build brighter futures for children in the District of Columbia.
The Marketing Committee is responsible for bringing awareness to our Club’s activities by creating marketing campaigns, promoting events, developing advertising and social media campaigns. The committee manages the development of all printed Club materials, from brochures and flyers to annual reports and t-shirts. The Marketing Committee oversees the Club’s website and social media platforms, leading the creation of Club and public-facing communications.
The Membership Committee is responsible for recruiting and orienting new members while working with existing members to leverage their membership benefits. Includes following up with guests and prospective members, creating, updating, and administering our new member orientation program, coordinating our member mentorship program, and providing updates on benefits to members.
The Service & Partnerships Committee is responsible for overseeing and developing service projects for our Club that benefit youth and families in the District of Columbia. This committee is responsible for ensuring that service projects are organized and promoted to our membership and stakeholders as effectively as possible, building relationships with community leaders to identify needs that align with Club goals, and being knowledgeable about all service projects, partners, and initiatives to support the Club and its members.
The DC Student Leader Awards Committee coordinates and plans the annual scholarship program, which is hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. For over 25 years, young student leaders and high school graduates in the District of Columbia have received backpacks, laptops, and financial awards to continue their education. This committee works with vendors to set up and monitor student applications, meets with D.C. Public Schools (DCPS), manages our sponsor program, and helps make sure our annual DC Student Leader Awards Ceremony is a success.
The Service Leadership Program’s Committee oversees the Service Leadership Programs (SLPs) sponsored by our Club. SLPs are leadership and character-building programs hosted in a school or community organization and sponsored by a Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. currently sponsors Service Leadership Programs at American University, The George Washington University, and School Without Walls High School. The committee is responsible for ensuring the SLPs are supported and engaged, as well as being responsive to community needs when partners are interested in implementing Service Leadership Programs at their school or campus.
