We talked with Liz about her Lions journey and what a defining moment was for her that helped shape her leadership path. She also gave us some insight as to the role younger members play in the future of Lions. We asked her advice on how Zone Chairs and Club Presidents can try to energize their clubs and she had some really great ideas for all of us!
