District Governor Steven McCullough

District Governor Steven "Steve" McCullough is a graduate of Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University), where he met his future wife, Grace. Together they have shared more than 44 years of marriage and are the proud parents of one son and grandparents to one grandson, who reside in San Antonio.

Steve retired following a distinguished career in oilfield operations that took his family across the country and around the world, including four years living in England and Scotland. After retirement, Steve and Grace chose to make Columbus, Texas, their home, where they have lived for the past nine years.

A dedicated servant leader, Steve joined the Columbus Lions Club in 2018 and has remained actively involved in club leadership ever since. He has served as Club President, Vice President, Marketing and Communications Chair, and Club Administrator. At the district level, he served two years as Zone Chair for District 2-S5.

Steve's commitment to Lionism is reflected in numerous recognitions and accomplishments. He is a Century Club Key Holder, a Progressive Jack Wiech Fellow, and a Melvin Jones Fellow. In recognition of his outstanding leadership, service, and dedication to Lions Clubs International, he received the International President's Award during the 2026 District 2-S5 Convention.

Beyond Lions, Steve is deeply committed to serving his community. He serves on the Board of Directors for Colorado County Habitat for Humanity, the City of Columbus Planning and Zoning Committee, and the Board of Colorado County Crime Stoppers. He is also a regular volunteer at the Columbus Food Pantry. In recognition of their exceptional community service, Steve and Grace were honored as the 2023 Volunteers of the Year by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.

Grace is an active Lion in her own right, having served as Secretary of the Columbus Lions Club and now serving as the 2026–2027 District 2-S5 Secretary.

District Governor Steve and Lion Grace are excited to lead District 2-S5 through a year focused on service, membership growth, leadership development, and fellowship. They look forward to visiting clubs throughout the district, celebrating the incredible work of Lions, and inspiring others to make an even greater impact in their communities. 

Together, they invite every Lion to join them in making this a fun, meaningful, and unforgettable year of service!
