Distinguished Area Program

The Distinguished Area Program recognizes those areas which plan, set goals, and achieve success. It maximizes leadership opportunities in your area while providing the tools you need to be a successful area leader.  Goals for each area are established annually based on the number of clubs assigned to the particular area.

To become a Distinguished Area, four of the five following goals must be achieved.

• 75 percent of October dues renewals submitted on time.
• 75 percent of April dues renewals submitted on time.
• Average of 1.75 CCs awarded per club by June 30.
• Average of 1 AC for every two clubs by June 30.
• 60 percent of area clubs achieve Distinguished Club.
