Lions Club of Lae Lioness
Our Clubs range in geographical and cultural diversity as well as geographical locations.
Our District ranges from the humid and green coastal areas to the arid dry and often drought stricken western areas as well as those areas in Papua New Guinea where many citizens are subsistance farmers and live in poverty.
District Governor 2024-25 Tim McBride's Theme: Success Requires Action
- GOALS: By the end of the 2024-25 Lions year, we as a District will achieve:
- Service: Our clubs will be encouraged to report all service activities on Mylion under the pillars of service as well as all Service activities. Our team will ensure 90% of clubs in our district report service.

- Regular information / education sessions will be held via online and face to face modes to support all District Lions.
- Lions Clubs International Foundation:

- Our team will ensure that 32 clubs in my district achieve 100% member participation.
- DG will make a personal donation to LCIF and I will ask 35 members of my district cabinet to make a personal donation to LCIF.
- Raising Our Profile
- Lions Clubs in our District will be well known for their Community Service rather than being the best kept secret with 90% of projects being promoted in the local and wider communities.
- Succession Planning Good Succession Planning at Club and District Level will be evidenced by 85% of clubs showing full officer contingent for the following year. At District level all positions will be filled with 70% confident new Cabinet Officers ( supported with leadership training) for the 2023-24 year.
