GREETINGS FROM THE GOVERNOR SPREAD THE WORD!
WOW! What a year it has been. We are
finally together at last, but a little smaller
than normal. I welcome all the attendees in
person and those that might been attending
virtually. We intend to make this an event
you will remember.
Although we have cancelled the District
Convention as we know it and are calling it
an Education and Leadership Conference,
the Host Committee led by Joyce
Montgomery and Jackie Bledsoe, have put
together some fun events. Please enjoy what
Roanoke has to offer.
On Saturday, the Program Committee under the leadership
of Governor-Elect Elana Gardner and Leadership & Education
Chairperson Krista Latchaw, have guaranteed you will leave with more
knowledge than you arrived with. The workshops are over the top.
Saturday evening we will recognize our Service Leadership Program
leaders and honor our Teenager of the Year at the Governor’s Banquet.
This will be an event you will not want to miss.
Finally, on Sunday, we will recognize the outgoing officers and install
the incoming officers. Be sure to attend to see your future leaders.
Thank you for attending. Enjoy the weekend. Remember, Kids Need
Kiwanis and SPREAD THE WORD!
Dennis Baugh
Governor, 2020-2021

2021 DISTRICT EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL COUNSELOR
Welcome to the Capital District Conference!
On behalf of your Kiwanis International
Board, I hope you enjoy the experience
of networking with Kiwanis members and
leadership from the Capital District, learn
some new ideas from the educational
workshops to enhance our service, and
empower our clubs. Take part and step up
with leadership to help shape the future of
our great organization, as we emerge from
the COVID pandemic with new methods and
ideas to serve the children in our communities
and around the world. Kids need Kiwanis!
Children need a nurturing and positive environment and education
to succeed in life. Kiwanis clubs are adapting their service to address
these needs of the children from this pandemic. I believe in our clubs’
abilities to meet these needs through service. Membership expansion
will help our clubs in this effort. Thank you for all you do to create
opportunities for children. Let this gathering open your minds to new
ideas to lift your communities. When we join together, there are no
limits to what we can achieve!
Yours in Kiwanis service,
Dr. Kip Crain, Kiwanis International Trustee

A MESSAGE FROM THE CONVENTION TEAM SPREAD THE WORD!
Fellow Kiwanians and Friends,
Welcome to all of you who have joined us in-
person in Roanoke this weekend for the Capital
District’s Education and Leadership Conference.
We also welcome a large contingent of Kiwanians
who are joining us online. And we’re especially
thankful for the technology and the skilled
technicians who have made it possible to offer
you options regarding participation.
Circumstances have made the task of putting on
an annual event combining education, inspiration, JOYCE MONTGOMERY
entertainment, and Kiwanis business more
challenging than usual this summer – but in true
Kiwanis spirit, we have prevailed.
Capital District Kiwanis Governor Dennis Baugh
has been a pleasure to work with. His “can-do”
spirit inspires us all. We thank him for responding
to all of our emails and phone calls throughout
the past year, consistently offering support
and exhibiting good humor. District Secretary-
Treasurer Jeffrey Wolff is a gem as well, handling
JACKIE BLEDSOE
a myriad of details; it’s gratifying and reassuring to
work with such professionals.
We’re delighted to be meeting at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference
Center, a showpiece of Southwest Virginia. The Hotel has hosted
Capital District Kiwanis conventions numerous times over the past
century and we’re so glad to be here once again. As your time allows,
please enjoy the hotel’s wonderful amenities.
Our ELC committee began meeting more than one year ago. We
are appreciative of all those committee members who met dozens
of times to discuss potential programs and social options that were
both feasible and appealing. The end result certainly speaks for itself.
Thank you, committee members!
Our keynote speakers are exceptional – as you will see at our meal
events Saturday and Sunday. Their backgrounds and credentials can
be found throughout this book.

2021 DISTRICT EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
A MESSAGE FROM THE CONVENTION TEAM
Thanks to Governor-Elect Elana Gardner and Education Committee
Chairperson Krista Latchaw who have put together an outstanding
lineup of educational workshops.
Our ancillary events outside the hotel – including Friday’s service
project of spreading mulch at the Kiwanis Club of Roanoke’s
Centennial Playground, Saturday’s “Market Passport” excursion to
visit downtown Roanoke merchants and compete for a prize, and
Saturday’s tour of the nearby Coca-Cola plant – all required extensive
planning. We hope you or other members of your party are able to
participate in those activities.
The details of this weekend’s conference are explained on other pages
in this program. We hope you will take time to read about them – and
while perusing the book, we hope you will notice the advertisements
throughout. We would be remiss if we didn’t salute the outstanding
efforts of our conference advertising team – resulting in nearly 30
advertisements.
We have overcome many challenges of the past year to bring this event
to our members. What we have for you this weekend are informative
forums, great speakers and three days of fun, reuniting with old friends
and making new ones! Enjoy the conference and remember to “Spread
the Word!” Thanks very much for your participation.
Yours in Kiwanis Service & Friendship,
Joyce Montgomery & Jackie Bledsoe

AND SPEAKING OF THE LIBRARY…
All conference attendees are encouraged to bring a new children’s book

Reading initiative, which is working to ensure that all Roanoke children learn to

desk when you check in.
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Thanks to the advance planning by Governor-Elect Elana Gardner and Division
4 Lt. Governor and Educational Committee Chairperson Krista Latchaw, we are

Keynote – Motivational Session
Listen up Kiwanians.....this is a CALL to action! Now that we are
coming back to our service and leadership activities, let’s explore
what motivates each one of us and calls us to service. There are
some amazing opportunities out there. How can we harness all of our
pent-up energy over the past year and a half and use that for new

how we can take action and serve the community and our children
better than ever.

9:40AM – 10:10AM – KIWANIS IS A CONJUNCTION
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
Representation Matters
How can we be Kiwanians AND do our best job serving our
community? Kiwanis Clubs need to foster relationships with the
people in our clubs and in our communities. We need to include
people with different views, thoughts, and ideas. It’s all about
representation and education. Let’s explore why representation
matters in your Kiwanis journey and how it will benefit your club
members to embrace the differences in all of us.
ERIC LAMB, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR & LTG CLASS PRESIDENT
Eric Lamb is a native of Charlottesville, VA and
has lived there his entire life. He started his career

last year in the school system, his school had
47 different native languages represented. Eric
also has degrees in Sociology, Psychology and
Restorative Justice. Eric is also a highly sought
after consultant for Non-Profit organizations. He
has dedicated his life to service and to asking the
difficult questions of why and how? Why are things done this way – and
how could things be done better? He is often accused of being “an out
of the box” thinker. Eric joined Kiwanis 5 years ago and served as club
president for 2 of those years. He is in his second term as Lt. Governor.
10:20AM – 10:50AM – KIWANIS IS A PRONOUN
Service Leadership Program (SLP) Core Values

Kiwanis family. THEY do this while living and breathing our Kiwanis
core values. Join our panel as they discuss some of these principles
relating to our K-Kids, AKTION Club, Builders Clubs, and CKI
programs. The panel will discuss the following values as they relate to
each Service Leadership Program:
1. Character building: The ability to do the right thing, even when it
might be the unpopular choice
2. Leadership: The ability to listen, communicate, serve, and guide others
3. Inclusiveness: Accepting and welcoming differences in other people
4. Caring: The act of being concerned about or interested in other
people or situations 39SPREAD THE WORD!

JENNIFER HISCOCK, AKTION CLUB ADMINISTRATOR
Jenn Hiscock can be found at any time with a
smile on her face and a positive attitude! She
is a go-getter and is always putting others

involvement in Kiwanis, the 4-H program, or in
her job as a Special Education teacher. In her
professional life, Jenn is entering her 10th year

Kiwanis is not the extent of Jenn’s volunteer commitments, as she also
serves in many volunteer roles for the Maryland and Carroll County 4-H
program. There is no such thing as free time in Jenn’s life, but when
she has a spare minute, she loves to spend it with her chocolate lab,
Belle, or running!
11AM – 11:30AM – KIWANIS IS A NOUN
Human & Spiritual Values
It takes a VILLAGE of VALUES. Humans live best in a village, which
can also be very challenging due to the differing values of community
members. Be a part of the Kiwanis 2021 - 2022 Village of Values – a
monthly program featuring human values that reach across our many
religions and cultures. Learn more about how your club can use this
program to introduce your members to the ways different cultures
celebrate these human values, to speakers who can help our clubs
bring these values to life in our clubs, and the service project ideas that
bring these values to life in our communities.
CAROLYN RICHAR, PAST CAPITAL DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Carolyn Richar has been a member of the Kiwanis
Family since joining Circle K International as a

Club in 1989, serving as a Club President four
times, Lieutenant Governor, in various District
Committee Chairs, and as Governor of the
Capital District. Carolyn will serve as the District

moments, Carolyn enjoys singing, reading, hiking with her two German
shepherds, gardening and chocolate!

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
Ah Ha! My Kiwanis Moment Panel
An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey an emotion or
a sentiment such as surprise, disgust, joy, excitement, or enthusiasm.
Well, what does an interjection have to do with membership? This
session will feature Kiwanians from around the Capital District sharing
their Kiwanis “Ah Ha!” moment. Their message of why they joined
Kiwanis and why they have stayed a member through the years will
inspire you and be a reminder of why we dedicate our time and talents
to serve children and make a difference in our communities.

2:40PM – 3:10PM – KIWANIS IS AN ADVERB
How We Modify
The definition of an adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or
qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or word group, expressing
a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree,
etc. Kiwanis Clubs are already engaged in MEANINGFUL service,
fundraising, membership recruitment, etc. How can we improve upon
these? This workshop will take a look at what our Kiwanis Clubs are
currently doing, how we can modify it, and how to become more
creative. This workshop will teach us to look at things from a different
perspective and use the PAGES framework to help us achieve new
objectives.
