  3. Goal Setting Process • Goals established and submitted via online survey • Submission Date: October 31, 2012 • Both MDCs and DCs will set goals

  4. Goal Setting Process • Use LCIF Reports including: • Status of Installments • Total Recap Report • MJF Listings • At minimum, set a contributions goal increase of 5-10% above an average year of contributions to LCIF

  5. Goal Setting: MDCs • Have a plan • Set goals for each district with your DC team • Analyze reports • Help DCs determine which clubs to offer a presentation • Help districts with fundraising • Make sure your DCs understand the goal setting process • Assist your DCs in working with their DG and DG Team, if necessary

  6. Goal Setting: DCs • Consult your District Governor • Ensure your DG supports your goals • Ask your DG for assistance in achieving goals • Communicate your progress to your DG • Work with your MDC • Make sure your MDC is aware of your goals • Ask for your MDC’s assistance with your goal setting, if necessary • Communicate your progress to your MDC

  7. Goal Setting Survey Questions • What is your target number of clubs to be visited in fiscal year 2012-2013? • What is the estimated number of articles and web news posts you plan to distribute this year? • Will you conduct MJF recognition activities during your district conventions? • Will you give regular reports to clubs of their available MJF recognition credits?

  8. Goal Setting Survey Questions • How much was raised in your district last year? • What is the goal for donations in your district this year? • Is your District Governor/Council Chair supportive of this donation goal? • Are you aware of One Shot, One Life: Lions Measles Initiative? • Do you need more information about LCIF programs in order to promote the Foundation?

  9. Resources for Establishing Goals: Reports • The following reports are available to assist you with your goal setting: • Current MJF/PMJF Listing for your district • This report shows all the individuals in your district who are MJFs or PMJFs. Use this to determine which clubs have never named an MJF and encourage them to name one. Or suggest that those clubs with many individuals who are MJFs or PMJFs consider becoming a 100% MJF Club.

  10. Resources for Establishing Goals: Reports • The following reports are available to assist you with your goal setting: • Current Status of Installments Report for your district • This report shows all the accumulated MJF and PMJF credit in your district. Use it to identify clubs and individuals that are near completion of an MJF or PMJF and encourage them to complete it. Encourage clubs that have many credits to apply for MJFs or PMJFs, or to consider becoming a 100% club.

  11. Resources for Establishing Goals: Reports • Club Health Report for your District • This report indicates the current status of all clubs in your district, including number of members, charter date and whether membership is increasing or decreasing. The report also shows cumulative giving to LCIF during the fiscal year. Use it to identify clubs with potential to support LCIF. This report will help you to prioritize which clubs to visit. • Recap of Donations • This report provides the complete list of donations made to LCIF during the Lions year, sorted by club. Details of each donation are included so that you can which donation program is most relevant for your area, i.e. club donations, MJF donations by individuals, Contributing Memberships, etc.

  12. Other Resources for Establishing Goals • In addition to reports and information, there are other important resources you should consult when setting your goal. Including: • Your District Governor and DG Team • Your DG may have valuable insights into clubs and Lions in your area that can aid you in goal setting. Additionally, you will have a much greater chance of meeting your goals if you are able to work closely with your DG. • Your Multiple District Coordinator • If you are a DC, your MDC should assist you with any questions you have during the goal setting process. Your MDC may hold a goal-setting meeting or consult with you by phone or e-mail to ensure that you are successful in your goal-setting. Your MDC will also be there to assist you as you work to meet your goal throughout the year.

  13. Other Resources for Establishing Goals • Your LCIF Staff Coordinator • LCIF staff coordinators are available to assist you with reports and other questions. Each Constitutional Area has a staff coordinator assigned to work with MDCs and DCs in that area. The appropriate staff coordinator for you area is listed on the LCIF website and in the online training manual. • Former District Coordinator • If you are new to the role of DC, you may find it helpful to consult with the former DC for your area, if appropriate. This person may be able to provide you with important information on clubs, donations and other LCIF-related activities.

In turn, MDCs will report their progress to their SC member. • Allow LCIF and the SC to monitor worldwide progress toward meeting LCIF goals • Enable MDCs to identify DCs who may need assistance in meeting their goals • Enable SCs to identify MDCs who may need assistance in meeting their goals • Allow LCIF staff to identify areas in which they can assist coordinators • Give coordinators the opportunity to ask questions and request assistance
