Committees

Committees are where the work (and the fun) happens. Each one is a team of Lions and friends focused on a clear area of service, fundraising, or club operations.

🦁 Want to get involved?
Lions committees are open to any member who wants to contribute, learn, and help serve our community. If you’re interested in joining a committee, let us know and we’ll help you find the right place to plug in.
