Lions Quest Chairs The LCI Board asked that all Districts and
Multiple Districts name a Lions Quest Chairperson, reflecting the International Officers’ commitment to Lions Quest. This also promoted a broader effort to organize, and to generate enthusiasm among Lions districts and multiple districts for Lions Quest participation.
The appointment of a Lion with the necessary interest, drive, and commitment to the program will be critical to achieving success.
