Dear Lion Leader,
The Board of Directors has voted to cancel the 2020 Lions International
Convention due to concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19). This means that
the next International Convention will be held in 2021 in Montreal, Canada.
On March 20, I advised you that our 2020 convention would not be held in
Singapore due to the limitations put in place by the Singapore Ministry of
Health. After evaluating a variety of different options, including moving
the convention to a different venue or postponing the convention to a later
date, the Board of Directors decided in favor of canceling the 2020
convention. This decision was made with the health and safety of our Lions,
staff and vendors in mind.
Canceling the International Convention for 2020 has an impact on
international officers. After review of the International Constitution and
By-Laws, this impact is outlined below:
Executive Officers: Since no convention is held and no successors are
elected, the executive officers’ terms will continue until declaration of
the election of his or her successor at the next International Convention.
International Directors: As international director terms allow for both two
years of service in the role, and for successors to be elected, if no
convention is held and no successors are elected, the international
directors’ terms will continue until the declaration of the election of his
or her successor at the next International Convention.
Director from Africa and ANZI areas: A director from Africa and Australia,
New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Islands of the South
Pacific is permitted only in even-numbered years. As a result, no director
from Africa and Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the
Islands of the South Pacific would be eligible for election until the 2022
convention.
District Governors: District governors, first vice district governors and
second vice district governors are elected during a convention of their
respective districts. Barring any election complaints, the International
Board of Directors intend to authorize commencement of the DG terms
beginning July 1, 2020.
If you have any questions regarding the information above, please contact
our Executive Administrator, PIP Frank Moore.
Regards,
Dr. Jung-Yul Choi
International President
