District

Each club in a division then falls under a district which is usually bounded by state lines. During the annual district convention, delegates from all clubs in the district elect a Governor, Secretary, and Treasurer to service on the District Executive Board. A board of district chairs is then appointed in order to carry out specific district focuses and events throughout the year in which clubs from all over the district can participate and attend.

​

The first Circle K club was founded in 1947, and the California-Nevada-Hawaii District was one of the two founding Districts of Circle K International, along with the Michigan District. California-Nevada-Hawaii was instrumental in the internationalization of the organization. Chartered on December 12, 1957, the district was founded with thirty-one clubs and has grown to over forty clubs at the present.

Our district puts on many exciting events throughout the year, which you can find out more about on the District tab

Sub-Region

Every sub-region is a collective of several bordering districts based on size, demographic, and cultures. Every year at International Convention the sub-region elects a Trustee to be the voice and bridge to international.

 

 

 

 

International

Of all 30 districts in the organization, they together comprise Circle K International. At this level, there is an International President and Vice President as well as 7 elected Sub-regional Trustees and a Trustee-at-Large. These Trustees carry out the interests of Circle K international as a whole, as well as for each individual sub-region.
