The trustees are elected for three-year terms, with five trustees being elected each year. According to the bylaws, nine trustees are elected from the US and Pacific Canada Region, one trustee from the Canada and Caribbean Region, two trustees from the European Region, two trustees from the Asia-Pacific Region, and one trustee elected "at large" from any region other than the US and Pacific Canada Region. The elected officers included (in order of progression): the vice president, president-elect, president and immediate past president. These officers, along with the United States and Pacific Canada Region trustees, are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. All trustees and officers are unpaid volunteers. The executive director is a full-time employee who is responsible for the organization's paid staff and serves as a non-voting member of the Board. There are seven regions in Kiwanis: Africa; Asia-Pacific; Canada and Caribbean; Europe; Latin America; Middle East; and the United States and Pacific Canada. The United States and Pacific Canada Region incorporates the 50 states of the United States as well as British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada. There are fifty-three administrative areas called districts. District boards typically consist of a governor-elect, governor, immediate-past governor, secretary, treasurer, and several trustees or lieutenant governors. Districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 5 to 20 clubs and headed by a lieutenant governor. Clubs have boards consisting of a vice president (and/or president elect), president, immediate past president, secretary, treasurer, and typically about five directors. At both the district and club level, the secretary/treasurer may be combined by one person and may be a volunteer or a paid employee; all other positions are unpaid.<ref>The information in this section is laid out in {{cite web \|url=https://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/training/governance/kiwanis-international/kiwanis-international-bylaws.pdf?sfvrsn=c1b22cef_22 \|title=Kiwanis International Bylaws \|date=June 28, 2019 \|access-date=22 August 2019 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190822090938/https://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/training/governance/kiwanis-international/kiwanis-international-bylaws.pdf \|archive-date=22 August 2019 }}</ref> == Etymology == The name “Kiwanis” was coined from the [[Ojibwe language]] expression derived from the word ''giiwanizi'' meaning to "fool around":<ref>Rhodes, Richard. 1993.

Browne's idea was to solicit business and professional men asking them if they would be interested in organizing a fraternal organization with a health benefit feature. Browne was compensated five dollars per new member that joined for his operating budget. Browne and Prance set out and recruited enough members to apply to the state for a not for profit status. The state approved the application on January 21, 1915 and the '''Supreme Lodge Benevolent Order''' Brothers were formed. The name was changed to Kiwanis a year later.

The debate as to whether to focus on networking or service was resolved in 1919, when Kiwanis adopted a service-focused mission. In 1924, the Objects of Kiwanis were adopted (see above) and remain unchanged today. Each year, clubs sponsor nearly 150,000 service projects, complete more than 18.5 million hours in volunteer service and raise more than $100 million. As a global project in coordination with UNICEF, members and clubs contributed more than $80 million toward the global elimination of [[iodine deficiency]] disorders (IDD), the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.

Kiwanis and its affiliated clubs have more than 600,000 members.

The trustees are elected for three-year terms, with five trustees being elected each year. According to the bylaws, nine trustees are elected from the US and Pacific Canada Region, one trustee from the Canada and Caribbean Region, two trustees from the European Region, two trustees from the Asia-Pacific Region, and one trustee elected "at large" from any region other than the US and Pacific Canada Region. The elected officers included (in order of progression): the vice president, president-elect, president and immediate past president. These officers, along with the United States and Pacific Canada Region trustees, are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. All trustees and officers are unpaid volunteers. The executive director is a full-time employee who is responsible for the organization's paid staff and serves as a non-voting member of the Board. There are seven regions in Kiwanis: Africa; Asia-Pacific; Canada and Caribbean; Europe; Latin America; Middle East; and the United States and Pacific Canada. The United States and Pacific Canada Region incorporates the 50 states of the United States as well as British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada. There are fifty-three administrative areas called districts. District boards typically consist of a governor-elect, governor, immediate-past governor, secretary, treasurer, and several trustees or lieutenant governors. Districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 5 to 20 clubs and headed by a lieutenant governor. Clubs have boards consisting of a vice president (and/or president elect), president, immediate past president, secretary, treasurer, and typically about five directors. At both the district and club level, the secretary/treasurer may be combined by one person and may be a volunteer or a paid employee; all other positions are unpaid.<ref>The information in this section is laid out in {{cite web \|url=https://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/training/governance/kiwanis-international/kiwanis-international-bylaws.pdf?sfvrsn=c1b22cef_22 \|title=Kiwanis International Bylaws \|date=June 28, 2019 \|access-date=22 August 2019 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190822090938/https://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/training/governance/kiwanis-international/kiwanis-international-bylaws.pdf \|archive-date=22 August 2019 }}</ref> == Etymology == The name “Kiwanis” was coined from the [[Ojibwe language]] expression derived from the word ''giiwanizi'' meaning to "fool around":<ref>Rhodes, Richard. 1993.

Browne]] and [[Joseph G. Prance]]. Browne's idea was to solicit business and professional men asking them if they would be interested in organizing a fraternal organization with a health benefit feature. Browne was compensated five dollars per new member that joined for his operating budget. Browne and Prance set out and recruited enough members to apply to the state for a not for profit status. The state approved the application on January 21, 1915 and the '''Supreme Lodge Benevolent Order''' Brothers were formed. The name was changed to Kiwanis a year later. The Kiwanis Club of Detroit is the original local club in Kiwanis.<ref name="thekiwanislegacy">{{cite book \| last=Jonak \|first=Chuck \| title=The Kiwanis Legacy \| publisher=Kiwanis International \|date=December 2004 \| location=Indianapolis, Indiana \| pages=13–16}}</ref> By 1927 the organization had more than 100,000 members.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Reading Eagle - Google News Archive Search \|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=A54hAAAAIBAJ&pg=3613,1262129&dq=kiwanis-international&hl=en \|website=Google news}}</ref> Kiwanis became international with the organization of the Kiwanis Club of [[Hamilton, Ontario]], Canada, in 1916.

The debate as to whether to focus on networking or service was resolved in 1919, when Kiwanis adopted a service-focused mission. In 1924, the Objects of Kiwanis were adopted (see above) and remain unchanged today. Each year, clubs sponsor nearly 150,000 service projects, complete more than 18.5 million hours in volunteer service and raise more than $100 million. As a global project in coordination with UNICEF, members and clubs contributed more than $80 million toward the global elimination of [[iodine deficiency]] disorders (IDD), the leading preventable cause of mental retardation. Beginning in 2010 Kiwanis International joined with [[UNICEF]] to launch a new worldwide health initiative, The Eliminate Project, dedicated to wiping out maternal and neonatal [[tetanus]] (MNT), which kills more than 100,000 babies worldwide each year.<ref>{{cite web \|title=WHO - Tetanus \|url=https://www.who.int/immunization/topics/tetanus/en/index.html \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201190942/http://www.who.int/immunization/topics/tetanus/en/index.html \|archive-date=2014-02-01 \|website=WHO international}}</ref><ref name="theeliminateproject.org\|title=The">{{cite web \|title=The Eliminate Project - Kiwanis Eliminating Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus \|url=http://www.theeliminateproject.org \|website=theeliminateproject.}}</ref> [[File:Martha Roby - Ozark Kiwanis Club - 2019.jpg\|thumb\|US Representative [[Martha Roby]] (center) with Kiwanis members in Ozark, Alabama]] Until 1987 the organization accepted only men as members.

The trustees are elected for three-year terms, with five trustees being elected each year. According to the bylaws, nine trustees are elected from the US and Pacific Canada Region, one trustee from the Canada and Caribbean Region, two trustees from the European Region, two trustees from the Asia-Pacific Region, and one trustee elected "at large" from any region other than the US and Pacific Canada Region. The elected officers included (in order of progression): the vice president, president-elect, president and immediate past president. These officers, along with the United States and Pacific Canada Region trustees, are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. All trustees and officers are unpaid volunteers. The executive director is a full-time employee who is responsible for the organization's paid staff and serves as a non-voting member of the Board. </p><p>There are seven regions in Kiwanis: Africa; Asia-Pacific; Canada and Caribbean; Europe; Latin America; Middle East; and the United States and Pacific Canada. The United States and Pacific Canada Region incorporates the 50 states of the United States as well as British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada. </p><p>There are fifty-three administrative areas called districts. District boards typically consist of a governor-elect, governor, immediate-past governor, secretary, treasurer, and several trustees or lieutenant governors. Districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 5 to 20 clubs and headed by a lieutenant governor. Clubs have boards consisting of a vice president (and/or president elect), president, immediate past president, secretary, treasurer, and typically about five directors.
