This yearâs USA/Canada Leo Leadership Forum will be hosted in Visalia, California, July 27-31.
Our Leo Club Program started here in the United States almost sixty years ago and today continues to flourish with more than 7,280 clubs worldwide, 165,703 Leos in 152 countries. Just last year, Leo Clubs completed 30,092 projects. These clubs have served 6,381,616 people, and they are not stopping anytime soon.
Our vision is to empower and further educate our Leos in areas of leadership and community engagement/development. With that said, Leo advocates gathered to form the USA/Canada Leo Leadership Forum. This Forum is the first of its kind in our Constitutional Area. A Forum organized for Leos by Leos.
From all over the United States, Canada, and Multiple District 60 âIslands of the Caribbeanâ and other affiliated territories, our Leos share a common set of values. They serve with enthusiasm, constantly striving to make positive, sustainable change to our communities. They inspire their peers and share their talents with those in need. They make an impact on our Lions and reinvigorate our lifetime commitment to serve in this organization. These values give our Leos the power to make a profound impact, and with âLIONSâ on their side there can be no limit.
Our Leo Leadership Forum will provide Leos with various workshops in leadership, public speaking, community development, etc. These workshops will be developed by experts in the subject and co-facilitated by Leo leaders. At the completion of the Leo Leadership Forum, our Leos will receive their High School Degree. Moreover, we will offer fun activities so Leos can inspire and learn from each other and later bring home their newfound knowledge and share it with their clubs. This forum aims to make a demonstrated commitment to our Leos, who we believe are the future of Lions.
