Past Presidents

Leadership Through the Years

A Century of Presidents and Lieutenant Governors

Leadership is one of the enduring threads in the story of the Kiwanis Club of Middletown. Across the decades, presidents, board members, officers, committee chairs, lieutenant governors, and district leaders have guided the club through change, challenge, growth, and celebration.

Each leader brought something different. Some strengthened traditions. Some expanded service projects. Some built partnerships. Some mentored new members. Some led quietly and consistently, ensuring the details were handled and the mission stayed strong. Together, their service forms an honor roll of commitment.
