The district cabinet includes elected executive officers (district governor, first vice district governor, and second vice district governor) and other appointed positions such as cabinet secretary and cabinet treasurer. These roles are defined in the International Constitution and By-Laws, Standard District Constitution and By-Laws, and the Board Policy Manual.Requirements for these positions emphasize active membership, good standing, leadership experience, and commitment to Lions principles.
