District Excellence Award
As Lions and Leos continue to seek out opportunities to Learn, Lead and Grow, Lions Clubs International offers resources that support Lions and Leos in achieving their goals throughout their leadership journey.
The district holds an important role in the membership and leadership development of its Lions. The District Excellence Award is an achievement not only for the district, but also for clubs that the district supports. It advances our community service, membership growth and leadership development. It is a team building approach to strengthen our traditions of service and our effectiveness as leaders. First, better service at all levels and second, a more fulfilling Lions experience for all members. Make it your district’s tradition to achieve excellence every year!
