By Lion Peggy TobinHow to Assign Your Club Convention Delegates
TO ALL CLUBS WITH VOTING DELEGATES GOING TO THE DISTRICT CONVENTION
Every club with voting delegates attending the convention needs to go to the Lion Portal and enter those delegates. Your club secretary, administrator or president can log into the portal and complete this process.
In the portal, go to “My Club”. Click on “Members” Select the blue button across the top that says “Manage Delegates”. Select “District 37 Convention”.
Note on the next page in the upper righthand corner, the number of allowed delegates for the club will be listed. This may be different than 10% of total members if the club has “households” or other types of members.
Example – A Lions club has 44 members so one would assume 4 delegates, but the club has multiple households and the club can only have 2 delegates! This is very important to know when clubs are assigning folks to be delegates!
The page will look like this:
District 37 Convention – 2025-2026
April 17, 2026 – April 18, 2026
Cedar Creek Lodge VIP Delegates: 0
Allowed Delegates: 2
Assigned Delegates: 0
Available Delegates: 0
To assign a delegate simply check the circle “Assign a Delegate”. It will bring up your roster and you can select the club member. When you complete this, the delegate will appear on the table. Continue assigning delegates, but note that the system will not allow more than the “allowed delegates”. If someone ends up not being able to serve, you can remove that delegate and assign another.
