KI-E Administrative Year 2025-2026

This year I wanted to establish a recognition program for the European Districts and Clubs: KI-E Growth & Service Awards 2026.
The slogan is “Formula 5 – 10 – 15”, because it makes it easy to remember the goals set in each of the three categories.

1. GROWTH
   Districts will be awarded if, by April 30, they have at least 5 new clubs (bronze medal), at least 10 (silver), at least 15 (gold). New clubs also include Voices and Key Club.
   
   
2. SERVICE – KI-E PROJECT
   Districts will be awarded if, by April 30, at least 5 clubs have participated (bronze medal), at least 10 (silver), at least 15 (gold).
   
   
3. SERVICE – KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND TPP
   Districts will be awarded if they have collected an average of €5 per member (bronze medal), €10 (silver), €15 (gold), and a special gift for €20 (platinum).

We did not invent anything new: Aspac Awards, Signature Project Contest, Distinguished Criteria have existed for years.

This recognition program is not a tournament or a competition among Districts, but simply a way to stay focused on the goals and to be able to celebrate successes—if there will be any.

The recognitions for those who will have achieved results in the areas of growth and service will be presented and celebrated in Catania during the next European Convention.
