What is Circle K?

Conventions, Conferences, and Retreats


Circle K provides numerous opportunities to participate in many activities on both district and international levels. These events can provide leadership training, new friends, service, and fun!

District Convention (DCON)
In March, all the Circle K members in Michigan gather for District Convention. It is a fun weekend filled with service and social activities, a banquet, a dance, workshops, and just hanging out. It is a great time to meet fellow Circle K members from across the state. The 2006 District Convention will be in East Lansing, MI and will be hosted by Michigan State University Circle K.

International Convention (ICON)
International Convention is similar to District Convention, except on a much larger scale. There are Circle Kers from all over the world who attend this five day event. There are informative workshops, awesome dances, inspiring speakers, a creative service fair, entertaining sessions, and the election of the International Board. Almost all International Convention attendees rank this event as one of their best experiences in Circle K. This year, International Convention will be held in Boston, Massachusetts from August 11-15, 2006.

Fall Leadership Training Conference (FLTC)
Every November, Circle K members from all over the Michigan District get together for a weekend of teambuilding, workshops, service and fun! The District Board puts on this event and it is open to any interested members.

Committee Retreat
In October, all committee members and chairs get the chance to bond, plan, share ideas, and get pumped up for the year at this overnight retreat. The location varies each year, but it's always a great way to dive into the committee system!

24 Hours of Leadership
Every April, the new chairs and Executive Board spend an intensive 24 hours learning leadership skills as they get ready to take on their positions for the following year. They have a chance to set goals, bond as a leadership team, learn more about their positions, share ideas, and relax.

LeadCon
LeadCon is a one-day conference geared towards members who are interested in building their leadership skills or taking on a leadership position in our club. LeadCon will help you to further develop your leadership skills in an engaging, interesting, and interactive manner. You will learn your communication style, how to work better with others, how to improve creativity, and more. If you are thinking about becoming a leader in Circle K, LeadCon is highly recommended. LeadCon is held in January or February each year.
