How the Program Works

The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program, running from July 1 through June 30. The program consists of 10 goals your club should strive to achieve during this time using the Club Success Plan as a guide. World Headquarters tracks the progress of your club toward these goals throughout the year, sending quarterly progress reports to your club president. At year-end, World Headquarters calculates the number of goals the club achieved and recognizes it as a Distinguished Club, Select Distinguished Club, or President's Distinguished Club based on the number of goals achieved and the number of members it has.

What You Can Do 

Download the DCP Form and fill out page 1 and page 2. Work with your club officers and club members to determine who will be accomplishing each goal this year. When the form is complete, send a copy to the Founder's District DCP Chair by clicking on the submit button at the bottom of the first page. Print out a copy for your own records. Each club officer should sign the first page as proof of participation in the Club Success Plan. This will help to fulfill the requirements for the Advanced Leader Bronze award.


If you have trouble submitting the DCP form, you can submit your Distinguished Club Plan by completing the online form here.
