  21. GLT success story: Start at the beginning - Finding and Training Club Presidents and Zone Chairpersons • PID Bruno Ahlqvist

  22. Start at the beginningCarefully select and train Club Presidents and Zone Chairpersonsfirst

  23. Knowledge evolves from basic information • Inform all members about changes and development steps (international, national & local) • Involve new members in club procedures (give responsibility adjusted to experience) • Increase responsibility with increasing experience (create a sense of belonging) • Encourage members to register an account on Lions Leadership Center to take courses on their own.

  24. Identifying potential leaders • How to identify potential a LP? • Re-elect or find a few LP? • Allow your LP to learn by doing! • Learn new skills as a Lions Leader! • Help all members to develop as Leaders and Human beings.

  25. The difficult role of the Zone Chairperson • The Zone Chairperson has the delicate “Middle Management” position between the District Governor and the Lions Clubs. • Needs up-dated knowledge about everything from IP´s Program to changes in local clubs. • Integrity and Diplomacy

  26. Who is the best Zone Chairperson? • The best Zone Chairperson is the past Club President who made a difference to his/her club. (Service activities, membership care, meeting routines and anything else taking the club to a new level of joy and satisfaction to the members)

  27. Re-cycling – the Enemy of Leadership Development • The easy way is to re-elect your Club President or Zone Chairperson. • Adds another safe uneventful year of no changes. • No new leaders, no new ideas, no development – just tired leaders. • Utilize the experience and knowledge of past leaders in Mentoring Programs

  28. Club and Zone Training • Club Officer Training • Zone Chairperson Training

  29. Club Officer Training • Audience: Club officers • Highlights: • Materials/resources available for instructor-led training • Position-specific online training available for president, secretary, and treasurer

  30. Training Materials/Resources 2

  31. Zone Chairperson Training • Audience: Incoming/current zone chairpersons • Highlights: • District-level implementation • Blended approach with options for implementation • Focuses on key skills and position preparation

  32. Emerging Lions Leadership Institute (ELLI) • Audience: Lions who have served on a club committee; club officers who have not been club president • Highlights: • Leadership development for Lions at the club level • 3 day curriculum coordinated by LCI, facilitated by Lions faculty

  33. Regional Lions Leadership Institute (RLLI) • Audience: Lions seeking to further develop their leadership skills • Highlights: • LCI provides comprehensive curriculum • Implementation by single/multiple districts • Funding available

  34. Development Programs 2

  35. GMT and GLT go Hand in Hand • Good Leadership is a necessity for membership growth. • Good Leadership leads to Satisfaction and Retention

  41. Women accomplish objectives IP Barry Palmer Women set goals, take on tasks and accomplish objectives in a way that men can’t, don’t or won’t. I don’t want to stir up trouble by saying women are our better half, but they certainly are half of humanity and carry at least half of our talents and capabilities. PID Gudrun B. Yngvadottir

  42. The situation in Europe % women of Lions Membership % LCI world average Number 1-32 = MD- and SD-numbers 101-132 PID Gudrun B. Yngvadottir
