20. LCI Forward Developing Action Plans

21. 21 Strategic Goals 2016-2020 Primary Goal: To respond to growing needs worldwide, our primary goal is to improve the lives of at least 200 million per year by the end of ‘19-20 through expanded humanitarian service – more than tripling our impact. (pending LRP approval on # served) Supporting Goals: Develop an updated global service focus to launch in June 2017 Become the best-known brand for voluntary service across the world. Achieve best-in-class services to members, clubs, districts and the association. Develop new and innovative ways to engage people in humanitarian service Enhance the value of being a Lion by continually expanding member benefits, leadership training, and member services.

22. 22 Four Areas of Focus Provides a framework for action plans Four frames through which to view our strategic aims

23. 23 Four Areas of Focus 4 Overarching Major Strategic Initiatives Provide the foundation For initial steps

24. 24 Four Areas of Focus ACTION PLANS It all comes together

25. 25 Area – Service Impact & Focus Service Assessment Project underway (April 2016 comp.) How do we define our service in a new century? Does ‘Knights of the Blind’ still resonate? How do we improve reporting? How can we expand real-time reporting and real-time impact measures? Enhance Service Impact & Focus How do you see your role adding value?

26. 26 Enhance Service Impact and Focus Instill gender equality in all service initiatives and programs, including conducting a specific global service initiative focused on family and women that would be completed annually, such as maternal health, immunizations.

27. 27 Area – Reshape Public Opinion & Improve Visibility Strategic Marketing Plan being developed How do we distinguish our brand in the nonprofit/ voluntary sector? How can we change public opinion that service clubs are vital? Have evolved? How do we create a PR network at the district level tied to LCI? Do we create a ‘state of communities’ annual report, similar in some respects but different to what Oxfam publishes yearly on poverty, to reinforce our mission and brand? Reshape Public Opinion & Improve Visibility How do you see your role adding value?

28. 28 Reshape Public Opinion and Improve Visibility Ensure the composition and make up of LCI is properly portrayed in all publications, marketing, video and communication, including the appropriate allocation of marketing and advertising budgets. We firmly believe we must promote who we are today, countering outdated public perception.

29. 29 Area – Club, District, and LCI Excellence What should be in a ‘Total Quality Improvement’ program? Key questions:  how do we get more club to have web sites and be soc. media savvy?  how do we get more clubs to be member savvy & centric?  how do we get more than 38% of clubs growing every year? Is our growth skewed by a minority of clubs/countries?  can we simplify club and district administration?  how do we advance MyLCI?  how do we make Club Excellence awards more sought after? Pursue Club, District and Organizational Excellence How do you see your role adding value?

30. 30 Pursue Club, District and Organizational Excellence International leadership positions, specifically appointed teams such as GMT, GLT, Centennial, DGE Group Leaders, and training faculty, should mirror or exceed the composition of our overall gender ratio in the organization and be strived for if qualified Lions are ready for such positions.

31. 31 Area – Improve Membership Value/Reach New Mkts How do we define the value of membership? Should we make our training courses more of an exclusive member benefit? Trade offs? How do we best promote growth of family, women and young members? What new products should be explored, especially for episodic volunteers? What other products are possible? Improve Membership Value & Reach New Markets How do you see your role adding value?

32. 32 Improve Membership Value and Reach New Markets Achieve the 50/50 parity of new women joining Lions by June 30, 2017. Request further that GMT develop specific net growth targets in their areas for family and women members by the next board meeting.
