Club and Membership Correlation

• A extremely close correlation between club
  development and membership figures is evident.
• Valid in both aspects increasing and loosing
  are clubs and members at the same time.
• Since 2004 there has been a decline in membership
  and the potential for growth has not been fully
  realized.
• The statistics are based on 80 of the researched
  clubs and members.

15
Analysis and Conclusion Eastern Europe

• LCI succeeded in reaching above average growth in
  Eastern Europe. From 2000 to 2003, when LCI
  suffered big losses on a global level, 20 growth
  was achieved in Eastern Europe.
• Russia experienced a negative trend, losing clubs
  and members resulting in a 50 loss.
• The number of women Lion is on target at 27 thus
  meeting the objective of Women in Lions
  program.

16
What do Lions need in Eastern Europe

• Basic information and working materials.
• Leadership training on all District-Levels.
• Assistance by experienced Certified Guiding Lions
  to meet the needs and the challenges of Eastern
  European Lions. These Lions will work directly
  with local Lions so Lions learn through
  participation. (learn by doing)
• Talk with them, not about them. Bond with them
  through fellowship.
• Support realistic and timely objectives.
• Provide monthly overviews to ensure appropriate
  and successful developments. (reporting
  system).

What are our goals in Eastern Europe

• In the future as a result of this European
  development, the number of Lion will more than
  double within the next 5 years.
• I am personally convinced, that a growth between
  15 and 20 p.a. is achievable.This means that
  the teams would have to build for example

31
What are our targets in Eastern Europe

• This ongoing process in eastern Europe needs
  continuous re-evaluation to ensure that this
  membership increase is achieved and indeed more
  than doubles.
• This process needs systematic continuous
  reevaluation so our development will multiply.

It goes without saying that the countries of
Eastern Europe are already at the threshold of a
rapid development, which political and economic
cooperation could only accelerate.
32
What are our targets in Eastern Europe

• By implementing training at every level we can
  establish the know-how that leads to better
  understanding, stronger motivation and structural
  improvements.
• This would foster a deep understanding of who we
  are as Lions. This in turn will make us live be
  the the Motto We Serve. We have yet to uncover
  fully the potential of the Lions of eastern
  Europe. Thus WE MUST MOVE TO GROW!

33

• Motivation will help us grow!
• Let us move together for a stronger
  Constitutional Area of Europe as an important
  part of the whole!
