Your Club’s Voice Matters — Prepare Your Delegates:
Delegate and Alternate forms will be distributed to all clubs. Club presidents and secretaries are encouraged to share this information with their members and complete the required certification process so eligible delegates can participate in this important election.
Clubs must meet the applicable good-standing requirements for delegate certification. To avoid any eligibility concerns close to the convention, all clubs are strongly encouraged to review their accounts and clear outstanding Lions Clubs International and applicable local dues by September 30, 2026, particularly any obligations approaching the applicable 90-day threshold.
Taking care of these requirements early will help ensure a smooth delegate-certification process and protect every eligible club’s opportunity to have its voice represented.
Important Information for Past District Governors:
There is also an important voting consideration for our Past District Governors (PDGs).
Under the current Lions Clubs International framework, District and Multiple District Constitutions and By-Laws may provide eligible Past District Governors in good standing with voting/delegate status independent of their home club’s regular delegate allocation.
PDGs who intend to participate should review the applicable Constitution and By-Laws and the official delegate-certification instructions for the November 7 convention to confirm their eligibility and any required certification procedures.
November 7 — Let Arizona Lions’ Voices Be Heard:
The special endorsement election belongs to the eligible voting delegates and PDGs of MD21. Their votes will determine whether a candidate receives the endorsement of our Multiple District for international office.
That responsibility is an important part of the democratic process of our association.
At the same time, we should recognize what this moment represents. When an Arizona Lion is willing and qualified to step forward for international leadership, it reflects the strength of the leaders, clubs, districts, and service culture we have built together.
PID Marie Cunning’s journey reminds us that leadership begins with service—in our clubs, in our communities, and wherever Lions are called to serve.
Whatever role each of us plays in this process, November 7 is an opportunity to come together as one MD21 family, exercise our voting responsibility, and celebrate Arizona Lionism on an international stage.
Mark your calendar for November 7, 2026. Share this information with your club, keep your club in good standing, prepare your delegates, and join us at the MD21 Mid-Year Convention.
One Arizona. One Lions Family. One Proud Moment.
We Serve — Together, from Arizona to the World!
