What is District Convention?
District Convention is an annual event hosted by the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Key Club International! This event is mainly to celebrate the hard work of all the members and officers and to reflect on everything your division and the district has accomplished. Members from throughout the district are invited to attend a weekend-long conference to attend workshops, listen to keynote speakers, and vote on the incoming District Executives. Additionally, the old District Board officers will be officially retired and the elected 2021-2022 Lieutenant Governors will be officially installed! For examples of the event, watch THIS VIDEO and THIS VIDEO.
This year, special guest AJ Rafael will be present at DCON! Don't miss out on a performance by a great musical artist!
