Greetings! My name is Michael Tran and I’m
the appointed District Awards & Recognition Chair
for the 2015-'16 term. I’m currently a sophomore at La
Quinta High School. I take part in other extracurricu-
lars such as Marching Band and Winter Drumline. My
favorite TV shows are The Walking Dead, American
Horror Story, and Criminal Minds. I love chicken Alfre-
do and boba and my favorite color is blue!!
One word: OHANA. These past two years in
KIWIN’S have really changed me as a person. I have
made so many friendships in KIWIN’S and I honestly
believe that it is my second family. This ohana has
been by my side through it all and I have learned so
many wonderful lessons from members and officers.
KIWIN’S has so far made a huge impact in my life be-
cause I have grown to love service and discovered
leadership within myself!! From a personal level I
gained tons of experience in volunteering and serv-
ing my community. KIWIN’S is my ohana, my support
system, and my motivation for service. I'm very
thrilled to be on District Board and ready to serve the organization and members I care for.
My goal this year is to improve member participation in District events by recognizing members,
officers and clubs in any way possible. In order to do this, I would like to incorporate monthly awards
such as Member, Officer, and Club of the Month. I would like to use these awards to recognize mem-
bers for their hard work in the past month and also to motivate other members to work just as hard. An-
other goal I hope to reach is to increase the amount of clubs applying for awards this year compared
to the previous year! Clubs should apply for awards because not only does it allow for you and your
school to be recognized, it also represents the empathy and hard work you’ve contributed into this or-
ganization. I urge ALL clubs to apply no matter how small or how big your club is, please please just ap-
ply! If you are struggling with any aspect of the application (especially the formatting) or have any
other KIWIN’S related questions, please let me know!! I’m always here to help anyone with anything
about awards! Good luck to everyone, don’t procrastinate and make sure to meet the required dead-
lines! Yours in Service,
Michael Tran

Officer Award
Distinguished Vice President
Rules Governing the Distinguished Vice President
Award
Robert Greenleaf, the founder of the modern servant leadership movement, wrote: “A true
leader is called to serve his/her followers, employees, and others in the organization.”
The duty as a vice president of a KIWIN’S club consists of being more than the president’s assis-
tant. The vice president has to help keep the club productive and assist the president in finding service
projects and fundraisers. Two major aspects of great vice presidents are their versatility and will. They
are able to perform the duties of all officers in any situation and find ways to make them useful when
no particular task is demanded of them. The Distinguished Club Vice President Award acknowledges
an outstanding vice president of a KIWIN’S club for his or her commitment to the club and community.
