Unicloud Company of Glenda Hufano was recognized at Kiwanis

Kiwanis clubs are advocating to help the indigent children and is existing in the Philippines for more than 50 years. To continue its advocacy, it needs people with genuine concern for others. It needs leaders who have the heart, as well as the strength to take swift action, armed with integrity, genuine care and solid determination, all traits of a true-blooded Kiwanian.

 

With her track record in the Kiwanis community, then and now, it’s undoubtedly, the Governor elect Glenda Hufano will not just be an icon in Philippine Luzon District but also internationally soon after.

She got several awards and citations from different organizations here and abroad. She helped and support most of Kiwanis organizations in different clubs in the Philippines. High decision-making skill is one of Ms. Hufano’s outstanding traits on top of being a reliable and trustworthy individual.

 

“My past , my business and my team (friends and colleagues) won’t control me in terms of running in this position, its neutral to be in the middle that not all people won’t agree with you but the mere fact one has the heart in helping the community and its people- one can’t alter or change someone’s decision because of the simple reason about those 3 things. Because we know that a leader must have the heart and a mere high dedication to what he or she’s doing – a pre-requisite for a person to run in any organization’s position. “ – Ms. Hufano said.

 

 

Ms. Glenda Hufano, a mother of 4 young professionals, is someone to trust a position with, for everything that she does, she lifts it up with the Lord. She believes on Isaiah 49:23: “She who trusts in the Lord will never be disappointed”

Rising Tiger—Beefing up Kiwanis with Glenda Hufano

When it’s about any civic organization, it’s really about the leaders who will implement and execute the projects to make the objective successful. Membership gathering is also very important. It’s not for everyone so there must be a selection process to make sure that the organization will grow healthy and strong.

One of the oldest organizations globally, KI PLD elected for Governor 2023- 2024 Glenda V. Hufano, an award-winning entrepreneur, to spearhead the projects of the District.

Just recently, Gov- Elect Glenda gathered in Manila Hotel the upcoming leaders and members of committees to set the tone of her coming administration.

 

 

Governor-Elect Glenda will head the more than 4000 members of the District and represent it in KI meetings and programs. She is from Kiwanis Club of Pasay City where she was elected President four times. She rose to  Lieutenant Governor handling Clubs  in Division 3A, mostly based in Metro Manila. Then, she became District Treasurer before her election as Governor, the highest position in the District.
