Structure of our association

Structure of our association

Our 271 clubs are grouped into four districts, each led by a Governor.

These four districts are overseen by Multiple District 112 Belgium (MD 112), which serves as the coordinating body between them and is led by a Council of the Four Governors, chaired by a Past District Governor known as the Council Chairperson (CC). They are supported by a General Secretary, a Deputy General Secretary, and a General Treasurer.

Together, these eight individuals form the Council of Governors. The Council of Governors meets regularly to manage and supervise the work of the national committees as well as general matters concerning all districts. Only the Governors and the CC have voting rights, and decisions are made unanimously.

Representatives

The Council of Governors is joined by representatives of the Global Action Team (GAT), which operates at every level of the organization — international, national, district, and club — as well as the LCIF representative.

The CC is responsible for the GAT and is supported by:

  • the GST Leader (Global Service Team),
  • the Global Membership Team Leader,
  • and the GLT Leader (Global Leadership Team).

Legal structure

All our clubs are members of our “de facto association”, which is described structurally on the page “Structure of our Association in Belgium”.

In parallel, our clubs have established and are members of two non‑profit organizations (ASBL):

  • the Auxiliary Association of the Lions Clubs of Belgium,
  • the Humanitarian Fund of the Lions Clubs of Belgium.

Each of these non‑profit organizations is managed by a governing body that operates in parallel to the eight individuals who make up the Council of Governors.

It is within the Auxiliary ASBL that the administrative activities and the staff of our association are housed.

The Humanitarian Fund ASBL is intended to receive donations coming either from the Auxiliary ASBL or from the clubs.

It is then responsible for distributing these collected funds to support the national project, LCIF, and Medico.

Both ASBLs strictly comply with double‑entry accounting principles and are audited by four financial controllers — two for each ASBL — as well as an external auditor (either a current or former certified auditor).
