Cal-Nev-Ha District Governor 2022/2023

---

Ever since she joined the Marina Kiwanis Club in October 2011, Dr.Valarie Brown-Klingelhoefer has been fearlessly finding new ways to promote the mission of Kiwanis. Originally from Riverside, California, Valarie is a former administrative Director and Dean for several colleges and universities, earning her Ph.D. in College Student Personnel Administration from the University of Northern Colorado. Now fully retired from her professional life (since 2016), Dr. Valarie still finds the time to help manage a nonprofit organization that helps homeless women in Monterey County. One big reason why she chose to retire is so that she can spend more of her time building new Kiwanis Clubs throughout our District and around the world, helping our organization grow. As a four-time Lieutenant Governor, and a member of NINE different Kiwanis Clubs, Valarie has opened more than 40 new Kiwanis Clubs, and she continues to win over new members to this day. The spirit of Kiwanis follows her wherever she goes.
