Lieutenant Governor Introductions<br />

Hello <strong>Key</strong> Clubbers! My name is Sage Holloway, and I am the new Lieutenant Governor of Division 1. I’m very passionate about<br />

service <strong>to</strong> others in all forms, and that is why I joined <strong>Key</strong> Club. I am also involved in National Honors Society, Link Crew, and choir at<br />

my school. In my free time, I compete in speech competitions through SkillsUSA and am very involved in theater, in school and out. I<br />

have given a lot of thought <strong>to</strong> the goals I have for this year. Above all else, I want <strong>to</strong> stress communication. I have strong lines of<br />

communication within my school’s club and a couple others, but I want the entire division <strong>to</strong> feel connected <strong>to</strong> each other.<br />

Division 1: Sage Holloway<br />

This brings me <strong>to</strong> my next goal, which is <strong>to</strong> unite the division. I want <strong>to</strong> expand <strong>Key</strong> Club beyond the individual and really capture how<br />

much of a group effort service can be. A group working <strong>to</strong>gether can do so much more than the sum of its parts, and this relates <strong>to</strong><br />

our division and the impact that we are able <strong>to</strong> have in our communities by working <strong>to</strong>gether. I want <strong>to</strong> create this unity while also<br />

stressing individual contribution. There is a reason students join <strong>Key</strong> Club, and it’s because they want <strong>to</strong> make a difference.<br />

I believe that starting projects that students are passionate about will increase morale<br />

and membership retention. If we cater the service projects <strong>to</strong> what the people feel motivated<br />

<strong>to</strong> do, individuals will feel like they can and are making a difference. Only then can we really<br />

have the strong network and community that I really want <strong>to</strong> see in the coming year.<br />

I am looking forward <strong>to</strong> a fantastic year of volunteering and changing communities with<br />

wonderful and dedicated people like you!<br />

2: Mariana Beltran-Hernandez<br />

Division<br />

Hello fellow <strong>Key</strong> Clubbers! My name is Mariana Beltran­Hernandez and I am the current Lieutenant<br />

Governor for Division 2 and the Immediate Past Lieutenant Governor for Division 1. I am currently a<br />

sophomore at Burling<strong>to</strong>n High School in Burling<strong>to</strong>n, WI. Apart from <strong>Key</strong> Club, I play the cello and am<br />

involved in another service club named DRIVEN. My favorite subject is his<strong>to</strong>ry and I plan on studying<br />

politics or law in college. Finally, I plan on being a part of the Kiwanis family for the rest of my life.<br />

Despite already having prior experience holding a district board position, I have a different game plan for<br />

this term. I plan on improving communication in my division. The lack of communication that often takes<br />

place between clubs and their lieutenant governors is a huge issue that needs <strong>to</strong> be tackled. I plan on<br />

keeping constant correspondence with my clubs this year. This way, I can improve not only the number of<br />

submissions of Monthly Report Forms but also attendance at District Convention. I hope <strong>to</strong> work at my<br />

goals and achieve them successfully.<br />

3: Hello Division 3 <strong>Key</strong> Clubbers! My name Christianne Albers and I will be serving as your Lieutenant Governor for the 2016­2017<br />

<strong>Key</strong> Club Year. First off, a little bit about myself. I am currently a junior at Waukesha West High School. I am part of many clubs at<br />

school which include Ignition, student council, art club and of course, <strong>Key</strong> Club! I love going on long runs and love <strong>to</strong> play soccer. I<br />

am highly driven and hope one day <strong>to</strong> go in<strong>to</strong> the medical field, specifically pediatric oncology. Just like you, I like hanging out with<br />

my friends and I make balance between my school, work, clubs/activities and family time a priority.<br />

Although I am not physically in your division, I do plan on making trips down <strong>to</strong> your division when<br />

necessary. I have many goals in plan for this year, one of which is increasing the number of <strong>Key</strong><br />

Clubbers in our division. You can never have <strong>to</strong>o many people who are as passionate about service<br />

and making a difference in your community as you are! One way <strong>to</strong> do this is by chartering new<br />

clubs, so if you know of any school interested in starting a <strong>Key</strong> Club in your area please let me know<br />

so that I can get in contact with them!<br />

My philosophy in life is that “hard work pays off”, which is especially true in <strong>Key</strong> Club. If you work<br />

hard <strong>to</strong> achieve your goals, it will pay off and you will see those results in your local <strong>Key</strong> Club and in<br />

your everyday life. Together, I hope that we can make this year great and successful!<br />
