Resilience and Renewal features stories of service and how Lions International
navigated a global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of the pandemic challenged organizational activity at every
level, forcing Lions to cancel meetings, service projects, training seminars,
and fundraising activities. Long-range planning was interrupted, with travel
ceasing and members struggling to adjust.
Robert S. Littlefield, Ph.D., who has been actively involved in Lions International
for over forty years, interviewed more than fifty of the association’s leaders
in writing this book.
He reveals how they responded to the crisis with collective decision-making,
frequent communication with internal and external stakeholders, and
a willingness to be creative and adaptive to innovative problem-solving
strategies.
Their collective response and willingness to embrace social media and
technology bridged the gap between the organization and its global
membership. Perhaps most important, as an association, Lions International
reaffirmed the value of remaining true to its mission of service to those in need.
The lessons learned by this global service organization will inspire anyone
who views community service as a noble endeavor and offer a blueprint for
how organizations can overcome crises.
