District Leadership

The LaMissTenn District of Kiwanis International is comprised of the over 115 Kiwanis clubs within the geographic confines of Louisiana, Mississippi, and West Tennessee. For organizational purposes, groups of Kiwanis clubs are geographically divided in to each of twenty-two divisions which are supervised by a Lt. Governor.

Several divisions are then grouped together into one of seven regions which are each represented on the District Board of Trustees by a Regional Trustee.
