Lions District 36-O Strategic Plan (2020 – 2023)
Some of you have wondered if our Districts and Multiple District actually have overall goals and plans for accomplishing those. Well yes. Yes we do.
Every governor-elect must send LCI a District Plan – building on their predecessors and looking ahead.
“Mine” began: This Plan seeks to improve District O coordination of leadership, membership and service and thereby help clubs better know and serve their communities, understand LCI and LCIF resources for that service, retain members during COVID-19 restrictions and economic stress, and build for recovery.
We seek programs with direct community service and that produce larger program possibilities through inter-club, district and MD level cooperation.
We will use the COVID related contraction to focus on building online and hybrid meeting and training skills, and renew club-community assessments of their assets, service needs and key program interests. We will try to show each club how the LCI and LCIF resources, inter-district and multiple district cooperation can strengthen their service and reputation in their communities and across Oregon.
We seek to build our Lion Pride through service.
As I’ve said previously, justifiable pride is earned through what one accomplishes working with and for other people. From the clubs I’ve met with so far – that fellowship and direct service is what draws people to Lions and keeps them there.
Consistent with that, we have 6 fundamental Goal areas:
No. 1 –Service - to communities at local through district levels
No. 2 - Membership Growth – despite COVID
No. 3 - Leadership Development ensuring training for officer positions & service
No. 4 - Club Administration – efficient, transparent & respecting member time
No. 5 – Diversity –welcoming people of different cultures and capacities
No. 6 - Public Relations - increasing Lions’ visibility in local communities and throughout the State
The service area of the month is of course fire response. So, the fire next time.
