Eight districts are being recognized for meeting the distinguished criteria for the 2018-19 administrative year. These districts achieved a net gain in membership and reached the new club opening goal set by the governor and 2018-19 Kiwanis International President Poly Lat. Overall, 433 clubs started serving new communities that year.

The Kiwanis International Board of Trustees bestowed the recognition on these members while honoring the memory of President Lat, who died in the last month of his term.
