District Realignment

For this reason, nominations are for these future districts. Which district for which you run, or apply for office depends largely on geography.

Nominees and applicants should forward their documents to the District Leadership Committee for the corresponding district.

D33 Divisions B, C, & E –> District 202
D33 Divisions A & D –> District 203
D33 Division F –> District 206.  District 206 will be created from clubs currently in District 33 (Division F), District 39 (all five divisions), and District 57 (Divisions B & E, plus Area C8).
