Dear Lions Club Officer,

As your club prepares for its district and multiple district conventions, below are steps your club can take to ensure it is in good standing.

First, prepare your club’s leadership succession. Encourage your club’s members to review the online courses in the Lions Learning Center (LLC), located in Learn within the Lion Portal. As your club moves toward the future, make sure these courses are reviewed by future leaders.

1. Club Officer Training

2. Leadership Succession

3. Goal Setting

4. And more

Second, as your district and multiple district conventions approach (typically held in March, April or May), here are a few ways you can prepare:

1. Convention dates: Confirm the dates of your district and multiple district conventions in the Lion Portal with your club officers. By verifying these dates, it allows your club to prepare by knowing the number of delegates allowed and to verify if your club has any outstanding dues or fees that need to be remitted.

2. Number of delegates: With the assistance of your club officers, review the Certified List with the Eligible Member Count Report in the portal. This information is available as of the first day of the month last preceding the month during which the convention is held. For assistance regarding the Lion Portal, please contact our Member Service Center at memberservicecenter@lionsclubs.org. do not change email address.

3. Club balance: Work with your club’s treasurer to verify your club’s balance is not outstanding more than 30 days. The balance must be paid at least 15 days prior to participation in your district and multiple district’s convention. Nonpayment may make your club ineligible to vote.

For inquiries regarding your club’s balance with Lions International, please contact our A/R & Club Accounts Service Department at membershipbilling@lionsclubs.org.

Thank you for your service!

Sincerely,

Your District & Club Administration Division Support Team
