The Kiwanis Club of Birmingham announces 2023 Emerging Leaders class

By improving productivity and training future leaders, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham developed a one-year emerging leaders program, and today, Jan. 24, their team announced the 2023 class. Keep reading to hear all about the new class joining the Kiwanis Club.

What is the Kiwanis Emerging Leaders Program?

This program introduces new leaders to both the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham and its mission to serve children. Each class member is granted associate member status and is invited to attend the weekly club meetings, as well as Kiwanis committee meetings to help advise the club leadership on issues that relate to the younger adults in the Birmingham community.

Alongside the other leadership programs and service projects that the Kiwanis Club has taken part in and developed, this emerging leaders program is intended to build a new generation of leaders to continue the Club’s legacy of professional and civic leadership in the Birmingham community through mentoring future Kiwanians.

“For 105 years, Kiwanians have helped build a stronger community by serving our children. Kiwanians have awarded college scholarships, sponsored youth leadership programs, provided children with books, and helped create spaces, like Vulcan Park, Birmingham Kiwanis Trail and Kiwanis Giraffe Encounter at the Birmingham Zoo, for our families to explore.”

Honora Gathings, Kiwanis Club of Birmingham Executive Director
