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.
12
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!
