All Arkansas Lions & Lioness are members of the Foundation. LOAF is managed by a board of Trustees composed of twelve Arkansas Lions members – three from each sub-district.
Each District is divided into two regions with a Trustee from each region and each district will have an at large Trustee.
Each trustee is elected by the Lions of their district. The Board oversees and manages the property and activities of the Foundation.
The trustees meet four times each year to review grant applications and conduct other business.
