District Conventions and fact file
Lions Clubs International (MD105)
Fact File: Districts
Key information
As of July 2019, the Multiple District comprises eight districts. Each elects a District Governor (DG) who serves for a year, starting in July. Together, these eight Lions constitute the Council of Governors (CoG), who serve and govern Multiple District 105: British Isles.
A District Governor from the past three years is chosen as the Chair of the Council of
Governors. This is a once-in-a-lifetime appointment for a term of one year. The Council of Governors supervises administration of all Multiple District (MD) affairs.
The CoG is supported by the Council Secretary and Treasurer, as well as a small number of staff based at the Birmingham head office, and a team of MD officers. One of the first tasks of the
new Council of Governors is the appointment of officers in the Global Action Team (covering leadership, service and membership) and for functions including IT and communications.

District conventions: 2021
District Conventions must be held at least 30 days before the International Convention. All District Conventions have been held for 2021, details for 2022 will be shown as soon as they are available.
About district conventions
Lions Clubs International requires every district throughout the world to hold an annual convention, attended by club delegates and other Lions members. District Conventions involve a business meeting where the new district governor and vice district governors are elected, district annual accounts are approved and subscriptions agreed, and reports of the work of the district cabinet officers are presented. In addition, clubs may raise issues and/or propose changes to district practices for debate.
District Conventions are not simply formal AGMs, as they offer an opportunity for Lions to meet up, exchange ideas and enjoy social activities. Interesting speakers may be invited to talk about their work or other topics. Open forum sessions are held and informal connections between Lions and their clubs are made.
Owing to COVID-19, all district conventions for 2021 have been held online instead of in person.
