1st VICE DISTRICT GOVERNOR

Leanna Rich

She has served as Secretary, President, Tail Twister, and Public Relations Chair.  She has been active on the District level serving as District IT for three years and Zone Chair for one.  She has also served on the State level as State IT for two years and State Convention Chair for one year.

  Lion Leanna is looking forward to serving District 7N as 1st Vice District Governor along with District Governor Eric Edwards and 2nd Vice District Governor Matt Webber. 

While serving as 1st VDG this year she will be assisting with the Officer and Zone Chair Training and visiting several clubs on behalf of the District Leadership Team. 

Her goal this year is to motivate the clubs of District 7N by reminding them of why they became Lions in the first place.  She wants to make Lions “Loud and Proud” again and hopes to promote this enthusiasm by encouraging the clubs to brag on their members and the club’s accomplishments.

The Clubs of 7N are doing a wonderful job of servicing their communities, so let’s send in those pictures and newspaper articles so that we can share with others that Lionism is as strong as ever in District 7N…….
