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

Dear Lion,

As we begin our new Lion year, now is the time to think about your goals and how to achieve them. The key is leadership and service. That’s why our message this year is “Lead to serve, serve to lead” — because serving and leading are inseparable, and each drives the other.

When we act as servant leaders, we act with purpose. As the largest service organization in the world, Lions are already leaders in service, yet we have so much more to do. We need to grow our clubs so we can serve more people, have more impact and create a better world for us all.

So, let’s get this year started off right by working together to make this a year of strong leadership, compassionate service, exceptional growth and enormous success.

Together we serve,

A.P. Singh

International President
