❖ It has been a challenging year, but Lions and Leos confronted the hurdles of COVID,
learned how to apply the technology and continued to serve safely.
❖ Let’s continue to follow the process of the Global Membership Approach and we can
reach the new target of 1.5 million members.
❖ Membership and member satisfaction are the lifeblood of Lions Clubs International
❖ Humanitarian Service is out priority. It is why we exist. We want to make a positive
difference in people’s lives.

❖ A productive leader must have a plan that includes opportunities for others to grow,
develop their own leadership style and skills to assume new responsibilities

❖ Establish clear communication across all generations because people may “hear”
different messages.
❖ Above all, lead by example with a smile, eye contact and speaking truth.

seats at LCI Board of Directors

❖ So far, Campaign 100 has raised $297 million and the goal of $300 million is within reach.
❖ To date, LCIF has donated $5million in aid to refugees in Ukraine, Afghanistan and
