An Exciting Opportunity!

In honor of Kiwanis International President Bert West and his commitment to serving children, The Kiwanis Rocky Mountain District Foundation is proud to announce the creation of the Bert West Fellowship!



Bert West of Divide, Colorado, U.S., was elected as president of Kiwanis International at the 2022 Kiwanis International Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was elected as a trustee of Kiwanis International in 2016.

An active, third-generation Kiwanis member of more than 34 years, West is proud to advocate for clubs and members and focuses on promoting growth at all levels of Kiwanis. 

“Kids are kids everywhere,” he says. “They like to play and have fun together, whether they’re in Europe or the Philippines or Divide, Colorado — and adults in every part of the world want to help children. Kiwanis clubs give them that opportunity to make an impact.”

This special opportunity is designed exclusively in support of our Signature Projects. Currently, that project has been identified as Key Leader! You can become a Bert West Fellow by making a one-time gift of $1200 or monthly pledge for 12 months of $100. All Bert West Fellows will receive a special medallion with matching lanyard and lapel pin. Bert West Fellows also receive a certificate and other forms of recognition to commemorate their support.
