SPECIFIC CLUB QUESTIONS
1. The place situation
- club changed meeting place
- new place is not as “fancy”
- club members don’t want to go to the new place
2. The region rivalry
- club A doesn’t visit club B because the cities have a rivalry history
3. The endless prospect club
- corporate club is prospect for almost 2 years
- club President doesn’t have the necessary credibility to
get people involved and make the club move forward
- club President doesn’t want to stop being President

Alignment Committee ReportSara Magalhaes
Protocol 7.0: District Structure
1. Club Assignments
•The assignment of a new club to an area is
made by the district director, subject to
approval by the district executive committee.
•Changes to the alignment of a new club must
be reported to World Headquarters by the
district director within 30 days of the club’s
charter date. Any changes received after 30
days will not be reflected until the following
July 1. 2
The best interests of the clubs and
district are taken into consideration
when assigning clubs to areas.
•Areas consist of four to six clubs; however, an
area may consist of three clubs on July 1 only
when an effort to charter a fourth club is in
process.
•Under no circumstances may an area have
more than six clubs on July 1.
•Advanced clubs may not be segregated into
areas nor may areas be segregated by
language.3
Districts assign clubs to areas based
upon:
•Geographic proximity to other clubs
•The ability of an area director to effectively
provide service
•Club size and strength (e.g., paid, active…)
•Prospective clubs and expected growth
•The likelihood of eligibility for Distinguished
programs
