JAMES D. RICHARDSON HONOUR AWARD RECIPIENTS JAMES D. RICHARDSON BEM 1910‐1987 Jim Richardson was one of the most beloved and respected members of Lions in the formative years of the Association in Australia. He served in the Royal Australian Air force during the 1939‐45 world war before establishing himself in the Brunswick ‐ Mullumbimby area of New South Wales. Jim was the second District Governor to be elected in Australia in 1956‐57 and the first Australian to serve as a Director on the International Board of Directors in 1958. He was recognised internationally for his magnificent oratory, which held people spellbound at conventions and gatherings of Lions. The growth of new clubs (fifty‐two) during his year as District Governor was never approached again by any District Governor. The demands he placed upon himself meant that he travelled enormous distances by road so that he could visit all his Clubs, attend to Association and other business, as well as run his hotel with the great support of his wife Pam. Jim suffered a Cerebral Thrombosis whilst attending the International Board meeting in New Orleans in 1959 and although he recovered after a long convalescence, he had lost his capacity to speak. He was never capable of carrying on a conversation or making a speech but continued to work for Lions at club level and attended conventions. James D. Richardson BEM was one of the most dedicated and respected early leaders of Lions in Australia. In recognition of him being our first Australian International Director, the Australian Lions Foundation has instituted the James D Richardson Honour Award. A donation of $500 to the Foundation enables the donor to request this Award for presentation to a worthy recipient. RECIPIENTS OF JAMES D.
