1. Appointing and delegating- take great care in the appointments you make and in delegating tasks. After
appointing persons to perform tasks, ensure that the task is done.
2. Attending- as an ex-officio member, attend as many committee meetings as possible (but let the chair run
the meetings). You are a significant role model; so, attendance at regular club meetings, board meetings,
and all club activities is crucial. Attend and encourage all others, to attend the Key Club International
convention and all other division and district functions.
3. Evaluating- on-going analysis of club meetings and operation leads to continuous improvement in the club.
4. Goal setting for results- goals must be clear and attainable. In the end, your satisfaction will come from the
knowledge that your club was active on all fronts and clearly improved during the year.
5. Monitoring- continuously monitor the club¶s progress toward goal accomplishment and the activities and
responsibilities of all officers and appointees.
6. Motivating- establish a climate of enthusiasm, openness, and concern. Follow up, congratulate, and listen.

7. Presiding- make certain that each club and board meeting is well planned and organized, flows smoothly,
ends on time, and that each member has fun and fellowship. You are responsible for agenda setting and for
making certain the vice-president is prepared to preside in your absence.
8. Problem solving- make it apparent that you are concerned and accessible. Seek input and explore
alternatives before making important decisions.
9. Recruiting and retaining- make certain all members are active and involved. New membership is the
lifeblood of the club and its level of service. Have an aggressive, yearlong membership campaign with
weekly and monthly goals to be achieved. Make certain new members understand Key Club before
induction and are actively involved immediately after induction.
10. Reporting- the club president bears ultimate responsibility for meeting the reporting requirements of the
district and Key Club International.
11. Succession- prepare next year¶s president for duties as your club¶s next chief officer. Try to encourage
members to run for positions. Be very observant of those you think can do well with certain posts for the
next year.
12. Training- club officers, board, and committee chairpersons must clearly understand and carry out their
responsibilities throughout the year.

necessary paperwork; only when those two qualifications are satisfied can they be put on the
ballot
