Palm Coast Lions Club member Nina Guiglotto received the International President's Leadership Award, the third highest honor in Lionism, on May 3 at the Lions Clubs Multiple District 35 Convention in Orlando.
“The award acknowledges individuals who have made a significant impact through visionary leadership, tireless service and an unwavering commitment to the Lions’ global mission: to serve and uplift communities through volunteerism and compassion,” a Lions Club press release stated.
““I am deeply humbled and honored to receive this recognition from Lions International,” Guiglotto said. “This award is a reflection of the incredible people I’ve had the privilege of working with, and it inspires me to continue serving with integrity and compassion.
“When you're a Lion you serve and you do all you can all the time without thinking,” she said in a Facebook post. “I'm so grateful for becoming a member of the Palm Coast Lions Club three years ago. It has changed my life, and it's taken my contributions to the next level. We care, they care and our community cares. Thank you District Governor Bob Armstrong for a wonderful year, and for this nomination. I really appreciate you and all you've accomplished as well. Thank you!!”
The Lions Club press release said Guiglotto has spearheaded initiatives that address critical community needs including hunger relief, youth mentorship, community wellness and disaster response.
“Her leadership has been instrumental in building inclusive programs and empowering others to lead with heart and purpose,” the press release said.
