LCI Extension Awards
 

The Extension Award system was inaugurated by action of the International Board of Directors in 1949 and redesigned in 1953.
At first there was only one award issued (*pictured below), but all Lions designated as instrumental in the club’s organization were eligible to receive it.
In 1956, additional awards were authorized to be presented in a series to Lions credited with helping organize, two, three, four or five clubs. Involvement in the organization of six to nine new clubs is duly recorded and the supreme extension award is given to the Lion who assist in establishing ten new clubs as documented in the November 1970 Lions club magazine.

Current Extension Awards.

The current Extension Awards and the Extension Award Certificate are presented to two Lions, who, in the opinion of the serving district governor, provided the greatest assistance in the organization of a new Lions club. Lions nominated for an Extension Award receive a medallion for each of the first five clubs chartered, and greater awards for chartering 10, 15, 25, 25, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100 and 150 clubs. Extension Awards will be presented after the club has been chartered for a year and a day.
 The Extension Award will be sent to the district governor for presentation to the club organizer(s).
