Membership Key Awards

Sponsoring new members is an accomplishment worth celebrating — and that can earn you a Membership Key Award! Share the tradition and encourage members in your district to invite their family, friends and coworkers to join Lions and help strengthen our organization.

What are Membership Key Awards?

 

Membership Key Awards recognize individual Lions who invite and sponsor new members. A Lion can earn their first membership key by inviting two new members and may earn up to seventeen keys, all of which are shipped directly to the Lion when award requirements are met. Each key is designed to reflect the number of new members a Lion has sponsored.

Eligibility and criteria

 

To receive a Membership Key Award, you must meet the following criteria and eligibility requirements.

  • A new member must remain a Lion for a year and a day before the name may be used as credit toward a key.
  • The name of the new member and the sponsor must be reported online, with the sponsor’s member number and club number.
  • No sponsor shall receive more than one key of the same type.
  • Charter, transfer and reinstated members cannot be used as credit for a key.
  • Only one sponsor per new member can receive credit for a key.
  • Requests for sponsor changes must be received by Lions International Headquarters within 90 days of the new members’ join date.
  • Key awards will be issued to a sponsor if the new member’s club and the sponsor’s club are in good standing.
