The association of the Past District Governors of the Lions of Georgia was formed and constituted to foster Lions Code of Ethics and to carry on the Motto “WE SERVE”.

The purpose of the Association is to work within the Constitution and By-Laws of the International Association of Lions Clubs and that of the Lions of Multiple District 18; to strengthen Lionism within our state; to cooperate with the current District Governor by serving when and where we are requested in carrying out the programs of the Lions of Georgia; and to foster the continued friendship and fellowship among the leaders of Lionism.

The office of Past District Governor carries with it great honor and respect. To have been chosen by his fellow Lions as District Governor to lead his District in the Lions Code of Ethics and its Objects in Lionism, is proof that they consider him to have met all the conditions of the Code in the highest standards of service to mankind. However, to have been so honored carries with it a great responsibility. Not only must he serve his District well during his term as District Governor, but he or she has the responsibility of continuing to help to keep Lionism strong. A Past District Governor is looked upon with a lot of respect not only by other Lions within his own Club, but also by Lions throughout the world.

To deserve this honor and respect, he must continue to be a leader in his own club, setting the example for new Lions. He must be willing to serve on Committees and as Officer of other Lions sponsored Organizations within the state. He is also expected to be willing to serve in other areas of responsibilities as may be assigned to him by the current District Governor. He or she must be willing to help with Lions Service Projects on the local, District, and State level. Among his or her many other responsibilities, he or she is expected to be willing to visit and speak to other Clubs on such topics as Membership Development, Extension, Fund Raising, etc. Any Club President may call on any Past District Governor in his area to help him with any problem within his Club, or with any Club Project. Being a Past District Governor is a highly honored position and should not be taken lightly.
