This time of year, new Key Club officers are being sworn in all across the world—stepping into leadership roles and continuing a legacy of service!
Check out this throwback to 1951, when New York District Key Club officers were sworn into their new roles at Baldwin High School. From then to now, the tradition of leadership, service and impact continues.

During our 101st year, we’re reflecting on the leaders who built our foundation. 💙 From the 1965–66 International Board to our 2025–26 board—service 60 years apart. Key Club has grown throughout its history, but we’re proud to still be led by such caring and dedicated leaders.

✨ Milestone Monday ✨

From leading in service to leading in science! 🎶🧠

As the 2013-14 Michigan District Governor, Audrey Drotos discovered a passion for leadership, communication and community through Key Club.

After earning her doctorate in neuroscience from University of Michigan, she’s now a neuroscientist and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, studying how the brain processes sound.

She’s also the founder of .neighborhoodscientist, a nonprofit focused on making science and science policy more accessible through community conversations.

Drotos’s journey is a reminder that the leadership and service skills developed in Key Club can shape careers in unexpected and meaningful ways. 💙

Alumni in action 💙

At the Governors & District Administrators Training Conference (GATC), we saw the impact of alumni firsthand. Scott Sims, a former Key Club governor and current Kiwanis International trustee, returned as a featured speaker, sharing what Key Club meant to him and the opportunities it created.

With alumni district administrators and veteran leaders helping train the next generation, it was a full circle moment !

Klint Neal’s leadership journey began in middle school with Builders Club, where he joined alongside friends and discovered an early passion for serving others. That path continued through Key Club, where he served as club treasurer, club vice president, lieutenant governor and finally governor of the Texas-Oklahoma District.

At the University of Oklahoma, he helped charter a Circle K International club and later served as an international representative. Today, he continues his dedication to service as president of the Oak Cliff Kiwanis Club. Neal notes, “I’m proud to be serving in this role as we celebrate our 100th year charter.”

Neal exemplifies a lifelong dedication to leadership and service across the Kiwanis family 💙
