Growing Stronger Together
At the heart of Lions Clubs International is our people — the passionate, dedicated volunteers who make service possible. The Global Membership Team (GMT) plays a vital role in supporting the growth and strength of our membership across New Zealand and the Pacific.
What We Do
The GMT works closely with clubs, zones, and districts to:
- Attract new members who are ready to serve
- Support clubs with tools to engage and retain members
- Develop membership strategies that align with local community needs
- Create a positive membership experience that encourages lifelong service
