Kiwanis Mid-Year Education Conference
Exclusively for Kiwanis members, the Kiwanis Mid-year Education Day is an opportunity for Kiwanians across Ohio to come together for a day of leadership development, vision planning, inspiration, networking, and member recognition.
Building on Governor Kelly Brown’s Pollinator Project, and in collaboration with the nonprofit Save Ohio Bees, this year’s event theme is Spread Your Wings and Take Flight.
The event schedule will include an opening plenary and business session followed by lunch, a keynote presentation, and afternoon breakout sessions.
Luncheon Keynote Speaker, Tracy Teuscher
Save Ohio Bees founder, Tracy Teuscher, will present a luncheon keynote about native bees of Ohio, and offer some meaningful ways to mitigate the threats they face, from creating pollinator habitat and naturalizing lawns, to leveraging public programs and contributing to citizen science.
