A Team Approach to District Leadership The district governor, first vice district governor, and second vice district governor are really members of a relay team. Each year, the district governor provides leadership with the support of his/her vice district governors. At the beginning of each Lions year, the baton is passed to the next member of the team.

Benefits of a Team Approach Tasks are delegated and dispersed, resulting in more effective district administration/leadership Opportunities for vice district governors to gain experience Continuity in district administration from year-to-year Fosters a collaborative, supportive team environment Teamwork leads to better results!

District Governor Teamwork in Action I have an idea! My first vice district governor can visit the clubs that are experiencing membership and retention challenges. My second vice district governor can visit clubs that have requested more information leadership development programs and opportunities. There’s so much to do as district governor. How am I going to handle all of the club visits this year? Then I will visit the remaining clubs!
