YES INDEED – VOTE FOR REED!

PCC for MD25F and long time Speedway Lion Reed Fish is hoping to be the Indiana Lions next International Director! Reed has been a pillar of our club for years and we are proud to support him in this campaign. His belief in teamwork, leadership, commitment, and service (TLCS) has been the  foundation of Reed's tenure as a Lion and he plans to carry that forward as an International Director.

TEAMWORK

As I close in on 35 years as a Lion, the opportunities that I have been given to chair several committees including the International Convention Committee, Lions State Convention and the Mid-Winter Conference, have enabled me to work with teammates to deliver the finest Lion events to our members.

A single member cannot achieve what our Organization does as a team – serving millions of people every year. I truly believe in teamwork and value every member’s contribution!

LEADERSHIP

Yes, success is accomplished by the hard-working committees but there needs to be someone to help direct them and harness the energy and innovation of each of the members. Being a District Leadership Chair for 9 years has helped hone those skills as well as train others to become their club’s and District’s leaders.

COMMITMENT

It isn’t teamwork or leadership if a person makes a promise and doesn’t fulfill it or make grand plans and never starts to implement them. If I tell someone I am going to do it – then I will do it. If not, I can’t sleep at night knowing I didn’t fulfill my commitment to them. This is the same level of commitment that I will give as an International Director.

SERVICE

We are LIONS – that is what we do! I can say that in all the projects that I have had the privilege to work on I can’t think of a single one that I didn’t leave with a sense of satisfaction, that there would be someone benefitting from our efforts. I was asked to be the liaison between Indiana Lions and the great partnership with LCI and Anthem Blue Cross a few years ago. Over this period of time it has resulted in several thousands of hours contributed by Anthem employees and Indiana Lions projects. One year Anthem donated over $30,000 to the School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Our service is “contagious”!

These are some of the reasons for your consideration as the endorsed candidate for International Director.

We would be honored to be able to represent the Lions of the World!
