Message from the International President
Dear Lions,
It is truly an honor to serve as your new international president of Lions Clubs International. With thirty years of experience as a Lion, I know how dedicated Lions are to their communities and the people they serve. It is a commitment I have embraced both as a Lion and a medical doctor.
As a young neurosurgeon, I devoted my professional life to caring for my patients and fighting for the dignity of human life. But I was also looking for another way to serve society. I found it in 1985 when my father, who was a Lion, passed away. My uncle recommended that I fill my father's shoes by joining the club.
I knew I had made the right choice when I became the donor-patient coordinator of my club's kidney donation program. The program was a great success that saved lives and changed my own. I realized that many more lives could be impacted by working together as a club. Imagine how many lives can be changed—and saved—when more than 1.4 million members work together.
We are the global leader in humanitarian service. I look forward to working with you to bring dignity and harmony to humanity.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada - Lions Clubs International
