Each single, sub and multiple district will be allowed one speaker
only each year, approved by Lions Clubs International, for their single,
sub or multiple district convention, conference or similar district
wide function. The function must be clearly representative of the
entire single, sub and multiple district and one to which all clubs
are invited to participate. Where the international president, the
immediate past president or a vice president is requested as speaker,
the function should be representative of the entire single, sub and
multiple district and include reasonable schedules with sufficient
time to accomplish the purpose of the visit.
The host single, sub and multiple district will be responsible for
all local expenses for authorized speakers, including accommodations
cost, meals and local transportation. If a district fails to meet
this obligation, the district will not be eligible for a speaker in
the future until the debt is paid.
This form must be received in the Travel and Administrative Services
Department at least sixty days prior to the date of your authorized
meeting. Otherwise, the assignment will not be considered official
and your speakers allowable expenses will not be reimbursed
by Lions Clubs International. This sixty-day requirement shall be
waived only in the event of an emergency requiring a substitute speaker
or in cases where the second vice president or a first year director
is requested for an authorized meeting scheduled for July, August
or September.
