The Lions of Tennessee have a unique opportunity to honor individuals who have distinguished themselves through humanitarian service in their local communities by naming them a Lindsey-Jennings Fellow. The Lindsey-Jennings Fellowship is the highest honor that the Lions of Tennessee use to recognize individuals who have demonstrated their unselfish service to mankind.
This Fellowship, established in 2009, is named in honor of two Tennessee Lions who served as International President of The International Association of Lions Clubs: Edward M. Lindsey (1966-67) and Austin P. Jennings (1988-1989). Their long, dedicaetd, and innovative lifetime of Lions service to humanity is an enduring profile of the Lions’ motto, “We Serve.” Learn more about the Lindsey-Jennings Fellowship and/or Download an Application
