INFORMATION

THIRD ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
This meeting should be held in February or March or as noted in the District
Constitutionand By- Laws.
Focus on Leadership Development!
It takes effective leaders to manage clubs, lead service projects and to continue to meet the
needs of our members and our communities. As a member of Lions Clubs International,
you not only have access to leadership development courses and materials, you have a
unique opportunity to apply these skills for the betterment of your community. Use this
meeting to feature the leadership development opportunities that are available.
Please note, if a fourth zone meeting is planned, you might consider moving topics
relating to the training of incoming officers to the fourth meeting.
Consider featuring a presentation by the District GLT Coordinator and inviting the club
president, vice president and secretary.
Help Them Prepare! Contact your clubs to let them know that the meeting will be focused
on leadership development and ask them if they have any challenges getting new people
to take club officer positions or questions regarding elections, club officer installation,
conducting a club audit, or reporting club officers to LCI. Ask them if there are any
training topics that they would like to learn about so these topics may be addressed
during the meeting. Remind them to order year-end club awards and supplies to allow
plenty of time for delivery. Encourage officers to use the Challenges and Opportunities
Worksheet to help them prepare for the meeting.
The agenda might include the following:
Opening (2 minutes): Open the meeting by discussing the importance of developing
leaders to continue our service and to lead our clubs. Explain that the goal of the meeting
is to exchange ideas and provide an overview of the leadership development programs
that are available from the district, multiple district and LCI. Review the goals of the
district governor and the zone chairperson for assisting clubs.
Introductions (2-5 minutes): Ask participants to introduce themselves by giving their
name, title and club name. If the group knows each other, this might not be necessary.
Progress to Elect and Install Future Leaders (10-15 minutes depending on attendance):
Clubs should be actively promoting new Lions into leadership roles for next year. If
appropriate ask if any club is having difficulty or needs help with the following:
Review Standard Club Structure
Establishing a club officer nominating committee
Election best practices
Planning a club officers installation ceremony
Conducting an annual audit of a club’s funds
Having the ability to report club officers for the next fiscal year
