Immediate past MD5M Council Chair; leadership educator
2026–2027 role verified
Get to know Denise
A Nisswa Lion, Denise has served as club president, zone chair, district secretary, district governor, and council chair. The September newsletter describes her work as a Lions leadership instructor and her Empower Hour initiative connecting nonprofits with Lions clubs.
Useful for: Leadership learning and nonprofit-to-club connections.
How to work together
Suggested approach based on the role, not the individual’s stated communication preferences.
- Ask the district governor whether an introduction for learning or partnership-building is appropriate.
- Offer a short description of a community need and skills Spark House volunteers can contribute.
- Keep a service conversation separate from any organizational election activity or endorsement.
A good first question
“What helps a community organization and a Lions club begin a useful, manageable partnership?”
Source and term check
Checked 2026-09-16. The official September 2026 5M1 newsletter identifies Denise as immediate past MD5M Council Chair and describes her leadership-education roles. Her announced international-director candidacy is not an elected international appointment.
Contact details were verified as published, not by contacting the leader. An unverified name is not evidence that an office is vacant. Spark House does not appoint Lions officers or speak for the organization.
