OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT

Our leaders come from around the world – but they all share a common bond: To Serve. They make their communities better. They support Lions in other countries. And they are ready to help wherever help is needed. Our international president, Tam Wing-Kun, serves for just one year. It is a demanding position, requiring international travel, meetings and administration.

IP Tam Wing-Kun, of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), People’s Republic of China, was elected first vice president of The International Association of Lions Clubs at the association’s 93rd International Convention, held in Sydney, Australia, June 28-July 2, 2010. He became the International President earlier in July 2011.

International President Tam is the chairperson of a group of air transportation companies.

A member of the Mt. Cameron Lions Club since 1981, IP Tam has held many offices in the association, including Campaign SightFirst multinational coordinator and OSEAL recording secretary, District Governor-elect Seminar group leader, SightFirst China Action executive chairperson, 2005 International Convention Bidding Committee executive chairperson and honorary Host Committee chairperson. He has served on the international board for ten years and two years on the executive committee.

IP Tam and his late wife, Irene, have three children – Alvin, Tiffany and Andrew.
