What is the Leo Lion Relationship
The success of a Leo Club depends on the close
partnership with its sponsoring Lions Club. The
Lions role is to offer support, guidance and
council while the Leos are responsible for
planning and implementing their own activities,
financing their projects and maintaining the
smooth operation of the club. Leos have their
own Club Officers Constitution. The Leo
Advisor (a member of the sponsoring Lions Club)
serves as the chief liaison between the Leo
Lions Clubs. Dutys of the advisor include
offering constructive suggestions to the Leos,
reporting on their activities to the Lions Club
and promoting a cooperative relationship between
the two Clubs.
