Leo club president
The president is a Leo elected by fellow club members to manage club and board meetings. Club presidents set goals for their clubs and motivate their members to participate in projects. They also advise other club officers on their responsibilities and facilitate decision-making processes.
Working with the club secretary, the club president is responsible for the important task of reporting club members. This helps maintain accurate club records, provides valuable information to district and multiple district leaders, and provides many benefits to club members. More information can be found in the resources section on this page.
A Leo club president should work with their club membership chairperson to set club goals at the beginning of the year for recruiting new members and supporting the transition of Leos into Lions. They should work closely with the other club officers and the Leo club advisor throughout the year to ensure a strong Leo club both now and in the future.
Leo club vice president
The vice president is a Leo who assists the president throughout the year and is responsible for identifying leadership development opportunities. Should the club president be unable to complete their term, the vice president assumes the president’s duties as well. It is key for the vice president to ensure that training for members is identified and encouraged — they should find opportunities for their club members to participate in leadership trainings offered by Lions International as well as other programs. The Lions Learning Center, which can be accessed through the Lion Portal, is a great place for Leos to gain skills in leadership and club management and has its own learning path for Leos.
