Instructions for caucus questioning During caucusing this year, you will have very little time (two minutes for each candidate) to get to know many candidates. Therefore, it is important that you make your questions count. Here are some tips to help you make the most of this opportunity. 1. Come prepared. Read through the Information on Candidates booklet well in advance of the first round of caucusing. Jot down any notes or questions you might have as you read. And if any of your questions have to do with official by-laws, policies and procedures, refer to your Key Club Guidebook! The Guidebook can be found at keyclub.org/guidebook. 2. Dig into the candidate’s platform. If they promise to make change, ask them how they intend to do it. Ask them why the change is necessary. Ask them whether this change can realistically be accomplished during their year of service. Don’t just take their word for it! 3. Challenge your own assumptions. Take time to study each candidate’s previous experience. If you feel like a critical component is missing, don’t simply discount the candidate. Ask why they believe they are qualified de-spite the perceived lack of experience. Ask how they intend to overcome a potential knowledge gap. 4. Don’t waste time with frivolous and inappropriate questions. Questions like, “If you were a Starburst, what flavor would you be?” yield little to no relevant information and will be called out-of-order. If it won’t get you any closer to selecting a qualified candidate, don’t bother. You want the candidates elected to take their year in office very seriously. Now is your chance to set the tone.
Sample caucus questions • How has Key Club influenced your life and how will your life change, both positively and negatively, because of serving as a Key Club International board member? • How do you intend to accomplish your stated objectives in just one year on the Key Club International Board? • What is the importance of Key Club being a student-led organization? What are the advantages and disadvantages? • What is your favorite service project and why? • What is your greatest weakness as a leader? How will you address this weakness to have a successful year on the Key Club International Board? • What sort of problems do you foresee in the future of our organization and what would you do to address them? • What makes Key Club different from other student organizations? • What unique skills and qualifications would you bring to the Key Club International Board? • What do you think is the key to organizational growth? How will you support growth as a Key Club International officer? • What do you believe should be a major goal or priority for Key Club in the next year, and what do you feel you could do as a member of the Key Club International Board to help accomplish this goal? • If elected, what would you do to strengthen relationships between Key Club and other branches of the Kiwanis family?

Anton McDonald Candidate for International Trustee Bahamas District
Anton McDonald The Bahamas District for Key Club International Trustee "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams anton.mcd Anton McDonald anton.mcd anton.mcdonald14@gmail.com About Me Over the duration of the past year, I served as one of the dynamic Lieutenant- Governors of The Bahamas District of Key Club International. I am not one to be shy to leadership, which is why I can assure you that I WILL be a BOLD, RATIONAL and EFFECTIVE LEADER for all. Ting 1 - Connectivity It is no secret that Key Club is an International organization, but is it fully realized. As Trustee, I will strive to ensure that there is connectivity between all districts and the International Board. I will do this by always being a listening ear, bringing my own ideas, as well as taking suggestions into consideration from all members. Ting 2 - Revolution Through connectivity and a great revolution thereof, one of my main goals is to shift the way we connect. We must first do a full analysis of the programs and events offered and make the best decision, whether stripping away, implementing or both, to be able to maximize the potential of this superb organisation. Ting 3 - Inspiration I will use my platform to not only benefit this organisation, but to also be a role model to all those that may be struggling to find themselves. This organisation has given me so much, and I feel that it is time for me to do the same for not only Key Clubbers of my District, but rather on an International level. Thank you!

Hello Key Clubbers, First of all I want to thank all of you for your continued service efforts during this time! Although the gate to your backyard may not look quite like the Golden Gate Bridge, the truly magical parts of ICON are the moments we get to spend with Key Clubbers from all around the world, and luckily we live in a digital age where it is still possible for us to connect over online platforms.
