Governor

Fridley Key Club

gov@minndakkeyclub.org

Hi MinnDak! My name is Nathan Gonzalez and I am your 2024-2025 District Governor. Currently, I am a Senior at Fridley High School. Outside of Key Club, I'm my school's black student union president, a cheer captain, a speech captain, and I also do tons of other activities like theatre, GSA, choir, and golf. 

I've been a part of the Kiwanis Family for over 6 years. My journey started in 6th grade when I joined my middle school’s Builders Club where I would eventually serve as Club Treasurer. Once I entered high school, I immediately joined Key Club and by the end of my freshman year, I was elected as my Club President. As a sophomore I was elected onto the District Board as a Lieutenant Governor but halfway through the term I would end up stepping into the position of District Bulletin Editor.

As your District Governor, I plan to work to increase club connections with the district, grow our membership and charter new clubs, and simply make the district board more of an accesible and valueable resource to all of you! I am driven by a strong drive of care and servant leadership and I can't wait to work with you all this year as your District Governor. I want to be able to connect to as many of you as possible, so don’t be afraid to reach out to me if you have a question, concern, or even just want to say hi!
