Club President

You have reached the top position within your local Lions Club.  The big question, what do you do now.   As club president you preside over meetings and call the club to action to fulfill its program of service works; coordinating the efforts of board members and chairpersons to implement all activities of the club in both fellowship and service. 

The Presidents "E" Book and Presidents Workbook will help you make your term a success.  Both can be downloaded in the Resources section below.

Congratulations of becoming your club's President.  As such you become the primary window to your club.  How your club performs and succeeds during your term of office is primarily up to you.  Club Presidents have many roles and responsibilities; here are just a few.  

* Appointing chairpersons to plan and help execute club fundraisers & projects.

* Planning and conducting meetings. Preparing agendas so that the meeting stays on task is crucial to having a successful meeting. 

* Actively participate in zone meetings (District Governor’s Advisory Committee). 

* Managing club elections and leadership succession. Your goal should be to prepare your successor to be successful during their term. 

* Have a good understanding of Robert’s Rules of Order.

As the Club President, remember that you are never alone.  Help to answer questions or get guidance on how to complete a task is just a phone call, email, or text away.
