My name is Harshini Asokumar, and I am truly honored to serve as your International Trustee for the 2025–2026 service year! I have the privilege of working with the districts of Minnesota-Dakotas, CNH KIWIN’S and Capital!

A little bit about me: I’ve had the privilege of serving as District Editor for the New Jersey District and, prior to that, as Lieutenant Governor. I’m excited to bring this experience, dedication, and above all, passion to my role as your International Trustee! Outside of Key Club, I’m actively involved in things like Youth & Government Debate, Mock Trial, competitive dance, and slam poetry! In my free time, I enjoy reading, skiing, and going on hikes with my dog!

As International Trustee, my role focuses on two main areas: committee work and supporting my district pairings. Appointed to the Executive Committee, I will help shape the new strategic plan and conduct a thorough bylaws review to align with our evolving goals. I also chair the International Convention Committee, managing all aspects of event planning to ensure a meaningful experience for attendees. Additionally, as part of the Membership Development Committee, I design innovative recruitment strategies, improve retention programs, and develop leadership training to empower members. 

One of our primary international priorities this year is reaching a quarter of a million (250,000) Key Club members worldwide. This milestone represents expanded access to leadership opportunities, a greater capacity to serve communities, and a stronger, more connected global network of young leaders committed to service. However, this goal can only be achieved with your support. Thank you for the phenomenal work you do in your communities and beyond. You truly are the heart and soul of Key Club. These efforts directly support your district in earning Distinguished District recognition at the International Convention by strengthening membership growth, engagement, and overall district success. I encourage you to take full advantage of International opportunities, from Global Leadership Certificate and Youth Opportunities Fund to many other programs designed to help you grow as leaders and changemakers. 

I look forward to joining your events online or in person, celebrating your achievements, and working closely with you to build stronger collaboration across all levels of our organization. Above all, I want to be here for you. To listen, support, and provide the guidance, resources, and encouragement you need to make this service year successful. If you have questions about initiatives, ideas to strengthen Key Club International, or just want to connect, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out via email at hasokumar@keyclub.org or on Instagram at @harshi.asok. As we step into the next century of Key Club, I am excited to help lead a year defined by growth, strong leadership, and meaningful service!
