Holly Rutherford-Allen

Dear Lions of Colorado

I have withdrawn my candidacy for International Director. I will not be on the ballot at the District 6C or MD6 conventions. I urge the Lions of Colorado to support PDG2 Ken Moore of District 6NE as he seeks a seat on the International Board. 

I thank everyone who has supported my candidacy, including the numerous clubs that gave me the opportunity to speak to their members during my campaign. 

I will continue to serve Lions in other capacities. 

Yours in Service,
PCC Holly Rutherford-Allen

This was on my website before I withdrew:

I'm Holly Rutherford-Allen and I'm running for Lions Clubs International Director (“ID”) because I am passionate about serving my community and the world. I believe that Lions Clubs International is a powerful force for good and I want to use my skills and experience to help the organization achieve its mission of empowering Lions clubs, Lions volunteers, and partners in other organizations and other countries to improve health and well-being, strengthen communities, and support those in need.

As an International Director I will bring lots of Lions experience and many skills to the position. I have served on International Lions committees and held a number of Lions District and Multiple District positions, such as Council Chair, District Governor, District GLT and State GLT. My campaign brochure details my experience.

I will be at all the Colorado District Conventions where I would love to speak with you personally and answer your questions about ID's and about my candidacy. An ID represents every Lion in Colorado as well as Lions throughout the world.

I'm especially looking forward to the convention on April 19th and 20th in District 6C, my home district, where we will vote for our ID nominee. 

On May 4th at our Colorado MD6 convention we will vote for one candidate who will move forward to the national level as Colorado’s International Director nominee. Two Colorado candidates are running - Past District Governor Kenneth Moore from district 6NE and me from district 6C. 

Please register to attend the state convention and plan on voting there on the morning of May 4. All delegates must be registered for the convention in order to vote.
