Use the Membership Planning Worksheet to help your club retain and recruit members. This is a tool to examine current membership, identify potential new members and improve the overall club experience.
Once you set your goals for your club’s membership plan, report it. To be eligible for Kiwanis International’s Distinguished Club for 2026-2027, reports need to be submitted by Dec. 31, 2026. Click the link below for the report form.
The Nebraska-Iowa District Membership Team is available to assist clubs with Membership Boosts. A boost is a process by which a club works together with the governor and district membership chairman to plan an intensive recruiting event. The boost includes planning, implementation and follow-up. For the process to be successful, the recruited members must become active and involved Kiwanians.
Annual membership dues and fees are detailed in the chart below. Kiwanis International invoices clubs for annual renewals based on Oct. 10 membership rosters. Club secretaries should ensure club rosters are accurate before that date.
A new member who joins an existing Kiwanis club will be charged prorated Kiwanis International dues/fees and district dues based on the month the member joins. On each subsequent Oct. 1 (the first day of the Kiwanis year), all members will then be assessed the annual dues and fees amount for both international and district.
