European Lions web portal

A Lions Task Force Europe was created in 2019, at the initiative of then IPIP Gudrun Yngvadottir, to address CA4 related issues, needs and topics of interest. The members were current European International Directors, LCIF Trustees, 6 PIDs, and other Lions leaders, such as GAT and LCIF CA Leaders.
The LTE successfully addressed many important issues, and reported to CA4 Lions leaders, during the Europa Forums, by e-mail and on this page.
In 2024, it was decided that the Long Range Planning Committee Europe would continue the work of the LTE and report to the new PID Alumni Group.
The need for a permanent European website, coupled with a file repository remains necessary. This web portal offers a permanent European resource and information portal, allowing Lions and Lions leaders in CA4 to remain updated, and offers an increased visibility.
You will find on this page documents, reports, images, videos, etc. of Lions activities in Europe, including information from all the recent Europa Forums, as well as useful information from the Board of Directors, the Board of Trustees, the international operational teams.

This website is regularly being updated with new articles and documents, so welcome back
