Introducing Gary Bissell: 3rd Vice District Governor
The Montana Lions Clubs proudly welcome Gary Bissell as the newly appointed 3rd Vice District Governor for District 37. This new leadership position, recently established by the District Cabinet, aims to strengthen the Lions’ efforts in Montana. Gary’s appointment by the District Governor and approval by the Cabinet marks a new chapter for District 37, and he is honored to help further the mission of the Lions Clubs in his home state.
Gary brings with him more than 14 years of experience as a committed Lion. He and his wife, Lion Brenda, have been actively involved in the Lions organization since their time in California, where both were members of the Lindon Lions Club. Gary served in multiple leadership roles there, including Director, 2nd and 1st Vice President, and ultimately as Club President during the 2015-2016 term.
Four years ago, Gary and Brenda relocated to Billings, Montana, a place they now proudly call home. The move was inspired by Brenda’s family ties to the area, and since then, they’ve fallen in love with Montana’s natural beauty and vibrant community spirit. Gary is now an enthusiastic member of the Billings Heights Lions Club, continuing his longstanding commitment to the Lions’ motto: We Serve.
Since retiring from a career as a truck driver, Gary has embraced the opportunity to explore Montana with Brenda. They enjoy attending local festivals, fairs, and shows at the MetraPark Arena, meeting new people, and immersing themselves in the unique charm of each corner of the state.
As the 3rd Vice District Governor, Gary is eager to connect with Lions members across Montana, exchanging ideas, fostering new relationships, and building upon the legacy of community service that the Lions embody. With his extensive background in leadership and deep passion for helping others, Gary is committed to supporting District 37’s goals and expanding the impact of Lions Clubs statewide.
Gary and Brenda look forward to traveling throughout Montana and engaging with fellow Lions wherever their journey takes them. Whether at community events, local service projects, or District meetings, the couple is excited to work alongside Lions in every community they visit.
District 37 is thrilled to have Gary Bissell in this inaugural position of 3rd Vice District Governor, and his leadership will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success of the Lions’ mission in Montana. Please join us in welcoming Gary and Brenda to this exciting new role!
