What To Do If You Want To Run For Office

With the district boundaries changing, the process is just a bit different than previous years. Our general guidance is, “if you want to be a district leader, don’t stress about details – fill out the paperwork, and we’ll help you figure out the rest.”

• Email the form to Bonnie Tippey (tibohe@frontier.com) by January 31st, 2026

If you’re interested in the details of how this will all work:

• Candidates from Districts 8, 19, 35, and 54 will be running for office in either District 211 or District 212.
• You may only seek office in one district.
• You must be a member of a club which is moving to the district you’re seeking office in.
• If your club is in District 8, your club will be moving to District 211.
• If your club is in District 35, your club will be moving to District 212.
• If your club is in District 54 or District 19, please consult the list of clubs moving to District 212.
  • Clubs on that list will be moving to District 212.
  • Clubs not on that list will be moving to District 211.

Again, if you are unsure about any of this, but you’re sure you want to run for an office, fill out the paperwork – we’ll help you sort it all out. We look forward to speaking with you!
