Nicanor “Nick” Mananghaya will lead more than 50 clubs and 1,100 members across Los Angeles County
LOS ANGELES – Nicanor “Nick” Mananghaya has been installed as governor of Lions Clubs International District 4-L3 for fiscal year 2025–2026, according to the official Council of Governors roster of Multiple District Four (California).
Mananghaya steps into the role after serving as first vice district governor and participating in statewide MD-4 Council of Governors sessions, where records show his involvement in deliberations on community service and disaster relief, including a grant allocation that supported local response in his district.
He is also listed among the officers of the Lions Low Vision Services (LOVE) Program, a statewide initiative that provides resources and advocacy for individuals with visual impairment, and is affiliated with the Los Angeles Cosmopolitan Lions Club, one of District 4-L3’s oldest service clubs.
About District 4-L3
District 4-L3 covers a wide portion of Los Angeles County, stretching from the Palos Verdes Peninsula up the coast toward Malibu, across the Santa Monica Mountains to Downtown Los Angeles, and south to Wilmington and San Pedro. The district is home to more than 50 Lions clubs and over 1,100 members.
Local clubs are engaged in service priorities such as vision screening through KidSight, hunger relief, youth scholarships, and community welfare programs. Financial filings show the district operates as a 501(c)(4) civic and social welfare organization, with revenues and expenses drawn largely from membership dues, fundraising events, and contributions.
Community calendars highlight a steady slate of club visits, officer installations, and training sessions for the 2025–2026 Lions year. In his new role, Mananghaya is expected to focus on strengthening club service capacity across the South Bay, coastal, and central Los Angeles communities that make up District 4-L3.
