Dear Kiwanis Family,
As we begin this new year, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to each of you and to your families. May 2026 bring you good health, renewed energy, and continued purpose as we serve our communities together across the ASPAC region.
January is a month of engagement, preparation, and momentum. Across ASPAC, districts and nations are actively submitting their videos for ASPAC Stories , Video #1, giving voice to the identity, values, and leadership that define our Kiwanis community.
This month also marks the opening of registrations for the ASPAC Leadership Academy, inviting emerging leaders from across Asia-Pacific to take part in this regional leadership journey. The official launch of the Academy will take place next month, with the start of the learning modules.
At the same time, ASPAC RISE 2026 is officially launched, encouraging districts, nations, and clubs to begin developing and implementing environmental and sustainability projects that respond to local needs while contributing to our shared regional vision.
January is also a time to honor our collective legacy as we celebrate the 111th Anniversary of Kiwanis International, recognizing more than a century of service to children and communities around the world.
Together, through leadership development, service, and storytelling, we continue to strengthen One ASPAC – One Kiwanis – One Future.
Warm regards,
Michelle Cordioli
ASPAC Chair 2025–2026
