A Senior VP and Commercial Loan Officer in the Augusta market, John’s new leadership role with the Lions Clubs International is a testament to his dedication to community and service.
Goodin’s district covers the expansive and diverse southeast quadrant of Georgia, stretching from Sparta to Augusta, down to Kingsland, across to Waycross, and back up through Milledgeville. It’s a region rich in community spirit and thanks to leaders like Goodin, that spirit continues to grow stronger. He will hold the position through June 30, 2026.
A Legacy of Service

Lions Clubs in Georgia: Making a Local Impact
Here in Georgia, Lions Clubs are deeply woven into the fabric of local communities. One of the most meaningful contributions from the Georgia Lions is their support of the Georgia Lions Camp for the Blind, located in Waycross.
This specialized camp provides life-changing summer experiences for children and adults who are visually impaired. The focus goes far beyond recreation, it’s about building confidence, independence, and community.
Goodin’s leadership as District Governor will play a key role in supporting and expanding this mission. His passion for service, combined with his professional insight and regional knowledge, makes him an ideal leader to guide District 18N through a year of impact and growth.
Please join us in congratulating John Goodin on this incredible achievement. We are honored to work alongside someone who leads with heart and purpose, both in business and in service.
