Divisional Requirements in the Rocky Mountain District

The Rocky Mountain District Board is made up of dedicated student leaders who keep our Key Clubs connected, informed, and inspired throughout the year. Understanding the positions available and the responsibilities tied to each helps members decide how they want to get involved and grow within the organization. 

Leadership Positions in the Rocky Mountain District

The Executive Board is the leadership core of the district and includes the following roles:

• Governor

• Secretary

• Treasurer

• Bulletin Editor

These officers guide the district’s goals, oversee communication, manage finances, and ensure clubs stay informed. The Governor leads the entire Rocky Mountain District, facilitating meetings and setting the tone for the year. The Secretary handles reporting and documentation, keeping clubs on track with deadlines and communication. The Treasurer manages district finances and supports clubs with dues, while the Bulletin Editor produces newsletters and maintains district-wide media.

The district also has several Chairs, each responsible for a specific area of support:

• Technology Chair

• Convention Chair

• K-Family and Membership Chair

• Governance Chair

• Projects and Fundraising Chair

Chairs run committees that help the district function smoothly. The Technology Chair oversees online tools and digital communication. The Convention Chair assists in organizing the annual District Convention, from programming to logistics. The Projects and Fundraising chair organizes efforts to reach out to local businesses for fundraising and creates partnerships between organizations, focusing on service goals for the district. The Membership Chair supports club growth and recruitment efforts, and the Governance Chair ensures bylaws, voting processes, and district policies are followed correctly.

Another key part of the district structure includes the Lieutenant Governors (LTGs), who represent the Rocky Mountain District’s nine divisions. There are nine LTGs, one for each division. LTGs serve as the primary connection between individual Key Clubs and the district board. They work directly with club officers, provide monthly updates, organize divisional events, and ensure that communication flows smoothly from the district level to members.

Responsibilities Across the District Board

The district board, as a whole, is responsible for supporting every club in the region. This includes producing newsletters, hosting meetings, organizing events, and establishing goals that promote service and leadership within the district. Board members communicate regularly with clubs, help officers navigate their roles, and ensure district-wide initiatives run effectively.

Executive Board members each hold specific responsibilities that shape the direction of the Rocky Mountain District. Their roles include leadership, organization, reporting, budgeting, communication, and district-wide outreach. Chairs focus on their respective responsibilities by managing committees, creating resources for clubs, and supporting district events and operations. LTGs carry out individualized duties in their divisions, such as communicating with club presidents, providing monthly updates, hosting divisional rallies, and encouraging interclub connections.

Serving on the District Board

Being on the Rocky Mountain District Board is one of the most fun and memorable experiences Key Club offers. Board members get to plan and attend divisional rallies, where clubs come together for service, bonding, and leadership development. They also help prepare for DCON, one of the biggest and most exciting events of the year, filled with workshops, awards, spirit sessions, and district-wide celebration.

Throughout the year, the board meets both in person and over Zoom. These meetings help officers collaborate on projects, plan district initiatives, and build strong friendships with student leaders from across Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. Board bonding is one of the best parts of the experience. Serving on the district board is an incredible way to grow as a leader. You gain organization, communication, and public-speaking skills while contributing to something bigger than your own club. You also get the chance to meet new people, travel for events, and make a real impact on the Key Club community. If you’re looking for a leadership opportunity that helps you grow, connect, and have fun, joining the district board is one of the best ways to do it.
