Key Leader Key Leader was an event that Key Clubbers from all over New Jersey attended this past weekend from December 5th-7th at Camp Crossroads in Port Murray, New Jersey. At this event each person learned how to be a better leader.

A Key Leader can be described as a selfless person who is both dedicated and passionate. He or she is caring and empathetic. They turn their goals and plans into actions. A Key Leader is an active listener who is truly understanding. Each and every one of us is a Key Leader deep down inside. All we have to do is branch out and find that person within ourselves.

Service Leadership

Service leadership is the most selfless

type of leadership. It is more about

the end result and how others are

being affected than the person taking

the action to lead.

KEY LEADER TEST!! 1.  Is what I’m doing helping others to

become stronger and more independent?

2. Do others or does the organization become better because of what I’m doing?

3. Do my actions help others in my community?

If you answered yes to all three questions then you are a KEY LEADER!!!!!!

There are five Key Leader principles. 1. Personal Integrity

Doing the right thing

2.  Personal Growth

Developing in mind, body, and spirit

3.  Respect

Showing consideration for self, others, and your surroundings

4.  Building Community

Developing relationships to achieve positive goals

5.  Pursuit of Excellence

Expecting and achieving the best while living a life of purpose

What is a District Project? Every service year, the NJ District Board decides upon one project for the entire district. This year, The ELIMINATE Project is our focus.

What is MNT? MNT stands for Maternal and Neonatal Teta-

nus. It is a fatal disease that mainly affects mothers and their babies, making the new-

borns hypersensitive to light and touch.

The latest portrayal of our progress is the update of the MNT statistics - nolonger does 1 baby die every 9 minutes. Thanks to the progress that we've allmade, now 1 baby dies every 11 minutes.While this is still a large number peryear, it's 9,000 fewer deaths than previously. Keep up the great work and look fornew opportunities within your community to advocate and fundraise.

The New Jersey District of Key Club is looking for a new set of capable student leaders for the 2015-2016 New Jersey District Board. Key Club in itself is a student-led organization in which the District Board, made up of high school student like you, oversees all club affairs. We organize District Events such as Fall Rally and District Convention and form a support system for over 13,000 Key Clubbers in New Jersey. Our District Officers are very passionate about Key Club and work diligently to make sure that the New Jersey District and all its clubs keeps growing stronger. As District Officers, our goal as leaders is to teach others to be leaders, and that is what you will have to do if you are elected to the District Board. There are two categories of District Officers: Lieutenant Governors and District Executives. Lieutenant Governors are regional liaisons to the District and are elected by the student officers in their respective divisions. Their job is to update individual clubs on District affairs and provide support to struggling clubs. District Executives such as the District Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Editor serve the entire state of New Jersey to oversee the Lieutenant Governors and the 144 Key Clubs. Because of the great responsibility of these positions, District Executives are elected into office at by members at District Convention. Each of these positions requires great leadership and communication skills, and the time and travel commitments are extensive. However, if you are willing to put in the work, the experience can be extremely rewarding. If you are an underclassman and want to become a District Officer for the 2015-16 Service Year, you must be elected into office by your peers. Lieutenant Governors are elected in a divisional election by local officers. District Executives must campaign at District Convention and be elected by our New Jersey House of Delegates. All Lieutenant Governor Elects and District Executive Candidates must attend a special training conference to learn about their positions. If you are interested, contact your Lieutenant Governor for more information, and check out the Official Elections Packet. Best of luck in your campaign!
