Multiple District MERL Chairpersons Seminars

The Multiple District  Membership, Extension, Retention and Leadership Development Chairpersons Seminar provides training for the four chairpersons and coordinator whose goal is to work as a team to promote membership growth and development at the multiple and single level districts.  The program explores the core skills of leadership, membership development, setting goals, and examines ways to manage change. It also presents the MERL team's role as part of the Global Membership Team.

These seminars rotate through the seven Lions Clubs International constitutional areas, allowing each MERL team to participate in training at the beginning of his/her three-year term.  

Cost of the Seminar

Lions Clubs International will pay participant's meals and lodging during the actual days of the seminar at the training facility. Participants are responsible to pay for their own transportation and related travel expenses to and from the seminar.
