  ASSOCIATION, HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND?

2
SERVICE

• THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE HELP AS LIONS AND THE
  DOLLARS WE GIVE IN SERVICE ARE GREATER THAN ALL
  OTHER SERVICE CLUBS COMBINED

  AND ITS MEMBERS WORLDWIDE TO JOIN TOGETHER IN A
  SINGLE FOCUSED HUMANITARIAN EFFORT

4
SUPPORT

• LCI STAFF IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS
  OF LIONS CLUBS AND DISTRICTS WORLDWIDE TO HELP
  THEM ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.

FLEXIBILITY

• THE LCI STRUCTURE IS FLEXIBLE TO ALLOW INDIVIDUAL
  CLUBS TO RECOGNIZE A NEED IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND
  TO POSITIVELY AND IMMEDIATELY RESPOND.

6
DISASTER

• LCIF CAN MOBILIZE ITS RESOURCES TO PROVIDE
  DISASTER RELIEF, AND TO IMMEDIATELY MEET LOCAL,

WHATS WRONG?

• IF YOU WERE ASKED WHATS WRONG WITH THE
  ASSOCIATION, HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND?

13
POLITICS

• POLITICS AT ALL LEVELS HAS A NEGATIVE AND
  DISASTROUS EFFECT ON OUR MEMBERSHIP AND THE
  WILLINGNESS OF PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO SERVE IN
  CLUBS, DISTRICTS AND THROUGHOUT THE ASSOCIATION.

14
RELEVANCE

• ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE DECLINE IN OUR
  MEMBERSHIP IS THAT WE ARE PERCEIVED AS NO LONGER
  BEING RELEVANT IN MANY COMMUNITIES

15
LIFETIME TENURE

• LCI HAS AT ALL LEVELS PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO OWN THE
  POSITION THEY OCCUPY WITH LIFETIME TENURE. THEY
  NEED TO GROW AND LET GO.

16
DISHONESTY

• THERE IS A REAL DISHONESTY IN HOW WE LOOK AT
  OURSELVES AND THE REAL NEED FOR THE ASSOCIATION
  TO CHANGE AT ALL LEVELS. WE DEFEND THE STATUS
  QUO RATHER THAN HONESTLY LOOKING AT WHAT NEEDS TO
  BE IMPROVED.

17
CREATIVITY

• LIONS ARE COMFORTABLE AS TO HOW THINGS ARE DONE
  AND WHAT IS BEING DONE. THAT STIFLES CREATIVITY
  AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW WAYS TO SERVE AND OUR
  WILLINGNESS TO LOOK FOR NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES.

18
JEALOUSY

• SOME PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS OF SUCCESS OR ABILITY,
  AND TEND TO DESTROY RATHER THAN ENCOURAGING
  OTHERS TO DO MORE, GIVE MORE AND ACHIEVE MORE.

19
AND AGAIN LETS REVIEW

• POLITICS
• RELEVANCE
• LIFETIME TENURE
• DISHONESTY
• CREATIVITY
• JEALOUSY

YOUR CLUB WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO GROW
