EXCELLENT Club Resources - Part 1 of 2
Aug-12-2024
I just came across these web pages for these 6 critical positions in a Lions Club from President to Marketing Chairperson.  Each page is the essential resource for each of these positions and includes a link to the e-book to show each office their roles and responsibilities.  I've also attached the e-books to this email.  
I added the base standard club constitution and by-laws, service journey map,  financial transparency guide, and club structure chart, too.
Please do get thee to all our clubs and club officers through all of our various channels.  Great resources here for everyone!!
