Discussion Time22
22Slide23
Discussion Question #1
23
The president of a club is very controlling. He/she does not welcome new ideas from members. Some members have transferred to another club because of the president’s actions and attitude.
Members requested a meeting with the president to discuss their concerns about the recent club officer election, but he did not respond. The members contacted you as zone chairperson for guidance on its election and maintaining the club. What advice and guidance can you give the club?
23Slide24
Discussion Question #2A club has a potential problem regarding the election of officers for the following year. A number of members on the board do not want the second vice president to be first vice president the following year.
How can a zone chairperson assist the club in ensuring a fair and credible process and election and maintain harmony within the club?
24
24Slide25
Discussion Question #3
25
It has been a practice in the zone for clubs to procrastinate regarding membership and activity reporting.
What actions will you take to ensure that both activities are being reported? What can you do as zone chairperson to ensure the clubs in your zone earn the Club Excellence Award?
25Slide26
Discussion Question #4
A two-year old Lions club has a club roster that shows 50 members, but only 15 are active
dues-paying members. The others are non-active and have not paid dues. It is July and the club treasurer has just received the club’s per-capita billing.
What advice and guidance can you give to the club officers that could help correct its financial situation?26
26Slide27
Discussion Question #5
A new zone chairperson is beginning to plan the upcoming
year’s zone meetings. He is informed that during the last fiscal year, none of
his assigned zone clubs attended the last zone meeting of the year. How can he/she best plan and what tools should he/she use to ensure that each club attends the zone meetings and prepares to actively engage and participate in the meetings? Who can he consult with to prepare for his zone meetings?27
