Lion Exchanges

The 2012 International Convention program includes a variety of opportunities for Lions like you to learn more about the current state of our clubs, the Lions club membership experience and the ever increasing need for Lions' service around the world. This information is critical as we strive to maintain our position as the world’s most effective service organization. 

Two interactive Lions Exchanges will be offered in each of four languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. During these dynamic sessions, you can learn about key commonalities and differences among our clubs – and share ideas, challenges and successes with other Lions.

Lions Exchange: Secrets of Club Success

We are an association of Lions clubs, and as such, we must do everything we can to ensure that:

• Our clubs are operating efficiently and effectively
• Each club provides a positive, appealing membership experience

During this Exchange, you will learn about key findings from Project Refresh, LCI’s global membership study. Highlights include predictors of successful clubs, ideal club types and various aspects of the membership experience that impact our ability to effectively provide needed service now and in the future. This 120 minute session invites you to consider this research and discuss how you can apply these key elements of success in your own area.

Lions Exchange: Service Today and Tomorrow

Our Lions Clubs International motto is, “We Serve.” This sentiment is the basis for everything we do as Lions. But are we serving as effectively as we can today? As the world around us continues to change, are we prepared to embrace service innovation for the future?

This Exchange will provide insight into what Lions service is today, and what it might look like in the future. During this 90 minute session, attendees will share their ideas related to relevant service, and how Lions service may need to transform to keep pace as the world’s needs evolve. This Exchange will also include a review of service reporting and various online service support resources.
