Kiwanis became International soon after when it entered Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1916. Kiwanis moved into Mexico in 1962 and since that time, Kiwanis has grown to serve the needs of people in over 80 countries around the world. The club is governed by a set of by-laws which were adopted when the club was charted in 1921, although some modifications have been made since then. It is the job of the Officers and the Board of Directors to enforce these by-laws. Kiwanians are engaged in education, government, banking, marketing, agriculture, international trade, non-profit organizations, religions, and many other fields.
