President's
Message
Dear
Lions, Leos and friends,
Welcome
to the 96th Lions Clubs International Convention in Hamburg, Germany.
I would
like to thank the International Convention Host Committee for all of its
efforts to make this convention memorable. This international convention is a
unique opportunity for Lions worldwide to share ideas, develop leadership
skills and connect with fellow Lions united in service.
It has
been an honor to serve as your international president for the past year. In my
presidential theme, “In a World of Service,” I called upon Lions to expand our
impact through the Reading Action Program. And Lions responded. We have
expanded our partnerships, increased our visibility, and empowered millions of
people through literacy and education programs. Thanks to your support, the
Reading Action Program has been extended long-term to help reach those who are still
in need.
As
international president, I was given a unique opportunity to see the world and
its growing needs. I also had the opportunity to see Lions coming together,
rolling up their sleeves and working as a team to meet those needs. When Lions
serve, they impact more than their neighborhoods and communities — they impact
the world. Lions serve day in and day out on a global level. Lions Clubs
International is the largest service club organization in the world, and I have
seen firsthand that it is also the finest.
The
future of our organization lies in the hands of Lion leaders such as you. Your
dedication and vision will lead Lions forward—and to new heights. Thank you for
your commitment, your tireless efforts on behalf of the association, and for the
opportunity to serve as your international president.
Sincerely,
Wayne
Madden
International
President
