What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Carlsbad for the 98th Annual NM/AZ Lions State Convention. From the fellowship to the service, it was a resounding success! 🦁 It was a privilege to host such a dedicated group, and it’s fair to say a wonderful time was had by all!

Lead to Serve, Serve to Lead with International President A.P. Singh

From the very beginning, Lions have welcomed everyone with a heart to serve — and that spirit shines especially bright when we engage younger generations. Young people bring fresh ideas, new energy and a passion for service that help keep our organization strong, relevant and growing. To carry our mission into the next 100 years and beyond, we must continue inviting dynamic, service-minded people to stand alongside us.

When you join Lions, you may focus on how you will give back to others through service. What you may not immediately realize is how much Lions gives back to you. Becoming a Lion opens the door to experiencing more — more belonging, more purpose, more leadership and more community.

It is my honor to serve as your International President for the 2025–2026 Lion year. Together, we continue building bridges for global understanding and serving our communities.

Service to others defines who we are. It is the very reason we exist as a global organization.
