Leo Club members are addressed as "Leos" and they conduct various projects in the fields of health care, elders, children, disabled, literacy and education, and self-development. Leos can raise funds by conducting fund raising projects. They can conduct projects with the other Leo Clubs, sponsoring Lions Club, or with an outside organization. Leo Clubs are sponsored by Lions clubs and are an official program of the Lions clubs international. Leos conduct monthly general and board meetings. Typical Leo club officers include President, Secretary, Vice Presidents and Directors. At the end of every year Leos hold a conference annually. In this conference Leos are recognized for their performance. Every country where Leo clubs exist is divided into districts. Each district have a separate executive officers which includes District President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Directors. Leos also hold a multiple district conferences annually. There is a democratic procedure for Leos to select a District President. If a Leo district receives more than one nomination for the seat of District President, an election is called.
