Goal achievement and team development
At the 2023 International Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, updates to the district team roles and responsibilities were adopted which emphasize planning, team development, goal achievement and year-to-year continuity. To ensure incoming district governors are better prepared for one of the critical roles in our association, vice district governors will participate in an enhanced two-year vice district governor training program. For more information on the Vice District Governor Training Programs, please review our Frequently Asked Questions.
The updated training program for second vice district governors will be implemented in the 2024-2025 Lion year. The updated training program for first vice district governors/district governors-elect will be implemented in the 2025-2026 Lion year.
