Clubs Alignment

The District Alignment Committee considers several factors when recommending alignment changes. Clubs are assigned to an Area based on geographic proximity to other clubs, the availability of an Area Director to effectively provide service, club size and strength, prospective clubs and expected growth, and the likelihood of eligibility in Distinguished programs. Advanced clubs may not be segregated into Areas. Areas cannot be segregated by club type. Clubs that charter after the alignment is approved by the District Council must be placed into existing Areas.
