2024 Leadership Retreat in Choteau! 9/20

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Leadership Retreat will be held in beautiful Choteau, September 20-21! If you haven’t had the chance to attend one of our trainings before, now is the perfect time to join us. Our retreats are a fantastic opportunity for personal growth, leadership development, and networking with fellow Lions.

We believe in nurturing and empowering the leaders within our clubs, and this retreat is designed to provide you with the tools and inspiration needed to make a greater impact in your community.

This training is for everyone! Whether you’re a new officer, a newly inducted Lion, a Lion who isn’t currently an officer but aspires to be one day, or someone who wants to provide leadership in your club without holding an official title, this retreat is designed for you. It’s also an excellent opportunity for Lions who may be considering service at the District or Region level. No matter your current role or future ambitions, this training will equip you with the skills and inspiration to make a significant impact in our community and beyond.

If you or someone in your club is interested in attending (we love referrals!), please request an invitation by contacting the District. We want to ensure that all of our future leaders have the opportunity to participate and benefit from this enriching experience.
