Lions International Awards

Lions’ International awards promote excellence in service, membership, and leadership. Dozens of awards are available, but the Awards and Recognition Committee highly recommends that above all, every club apply for and/or follow the guidelines for the Club Excellence Award. Even if all the criteria for the award are not completed, it truly serves as a guideline for club success. Click the award titles to find out more information. Download the PDF version of this page.

Club Excellence Award

As Lions and Leos continue to seek out opportunities to Learn, Lead and Grow, Lions International offers resources that support Lions and Leos in achieving their goals throughout their leadership journey. To qualify for the Club Excellence Award, clubs must meet specific requirements in four categories: Membership, Service, Leadership & Organizational Excellence, and marketing & Communication.
