    I know there aren't a ton of club members in the Sioux City area but I do know a few people around here that might benefit from a forum we can communicate easier. We have a facebook page with 20+ members but I'd prefer not everything that is discussed be blasted all over facebook. Just a thought. The closest region to me is 2 1/2 hours away.

    I asked a similar question about Dubuque last year. The board did add a process to establish a new region last year. I believe that process can be found in the bylaws.

    Section 1: New regions (with a non-voting trustee) may be formed where there is interest by a minimum of 10 current members and an existing club member identified that can as act as trustee (non-voting) to be appointed by the President and approved by the elected officials.

    Section 2: New regions will reach a status that includes a voting trustee on the BOD after completion of one year AND a minimum of 20+ active members.

    Section 3: New Regions that fall below 20 active members will have a grace period of one (1) year to increase the membership back to 20. If the membership is not increased back to the 20 minimum, the trustee will become a non-voting member on the BOD.

    Where is the link to the Face Book page?

    So if the club was to jump in with both feet on this and open up a new region with our full support, Do we have any volunteer(s) to be the initial trustees?

    We can't move forward on this without someone in the region who's willing to take the bull by the horns.

    That's a good question.


    Roll Call!


    If you are located in or near western Iowa and you're interested in seeing the club add a new area, please let us know.


    1) Where are you located.


    2) If you're not in a major city, what's the closest major City? (Sioux City, Council Buffs, etc).

    I'd suggest posting a link to this thread to your facebook page. The more input we get, the more likely this is to move forward. If we don't get many responses, it may be DOA.
