The roles of the Kiwanis and faculty/staff advisors can be crucial to the success of a Circle K Club. A Kiwanis advisor is a member of the sponsoring Kiwanis Club who chairs that club’s committee on CKI. The faculty/staff advisor is a member of the school’s faculty or administration and provides a direct liaison to the school community. Though the role of each differs slightly, the advisors should work as a team and communicate regularly. Specific responsibilities of each advisor will be covered in greater detail later in the manual.It is important to develop a positive working relationship with them. Include them in your meetings and events. Copy them on communications and recognize them for their dedication to your club.
